I utterly adore this song (the original XTC version) and I am gobsmacked at how well this works.

[@jimkee7988]

I live in a world where River of Orchids was covered. And really well, too! Wow. Nicely done!

[@mattmichael6792]

I hope Andy Partridge hears this

[@MikeGervasi]

I think the dear man could use this right now. I adore Thile and Andy.

[@juleskazen7057]

XTC has always been a Band's band. Case in point and very well done.

[@Svatopluk]

Not the easiest of XTC songs to cover-well done to all!

[@oritfriedland7823]

Brilliant rendition of a very challenging song. Well done!

Great cover!

[@tanyaboerhave7364]

Wow! I've always wondered how this song might be covered. You guys are absolutely amazing.

[@EricStrijbos]

Every now and then, this pops up on my TH-cam list, and then I play it, for it makes me feel ridiculous happy. And the poem too. Come on people, push your car from the road.

[@sovietonion4020]

The way he pronounced Picadilly lol

[@leejlogan]

That's how it's pronounced in the song

[@darrenstewart557]

Far too American.

[@JordanDrummer77]

Should they have put on phony English accents?

[@CrumCringle]

lol "Oi blimey, shoula puta accent on ye wankahs!"

[@mikadams]

Wanted to like it. But, no... hate the poem, and dude needs to put down his fucking arm!!!! I have to think Andy would hate this too.
