White Lie (Live)

Recorded live at the band's sold-out debut show at Joe's Pub on 2/15/09. "White Lie" is a snarky blues-rock protest ballad ("Everyone gets one good protest song", Hart says), written at the wheel of a car while driving into the Joshua Tree desert as storm clouds rolled in (true!) and the U.S. was starting the Iraq war on the radio. Studio version is on the album, "Crash & Strum", recorded 2006.
