Shawn Colvin "Sunny Came Home"
Love the mandolin, there.
Soccer Actors/Fakers/Divers
The music sounds to me like it is from the Brobdingnagian Bards, who tend to play, between then, an autoharp, a mandolin, and a recorder. If you haven't listened to them before, I highly recommend them.
Video Killed the Radio Star by The Wrong Trousers
In about 20 years we'll all by watching these guys on Behind the Music - The bass player dead from a heroin overdose, the mandolin shot on the street, and the harp recovering from an abusive relationship. They're Cobains in the making, people, and it sickens me...
Video Killed the Radio Star by The Wrong Trousers
Ah mandolin players... they live fast and die young. Such is the lifestyle of a rockstar...
Video Killed the Radio Star by The Wrong Trousers
Upvote for mandolin...
"The Wrong Trousers" might be a reference to Wallace and Gromit.
Heart Covers Led Zep and Pulls It Off
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Leadbelly - Take this hammer (+ more)
If you love Leadbelly check out Three Songs By Leadbelly, on YouTube. And check out "Pick a bale of cotton" sifted by NickyP.
Huddie William Ledbetter (January 23, 1888 - December 6, 1949) was an American folk and blues musician, notable for his clear and forceful singing, his virtuosity on the twelve string guitar, and the rich songbook of folk standards he introduced. He is best known as Leadbelly or Lead Belly (see below).
Although his most commonly-played instrument was the twelve string, he could also play the piano, mandolin, harmonica, violin, concertina, and accordion. In some of his recordings, such as in one of his versions of the folk ballad "John Hardy", he performs on the accordion instead of the guitar.
The topics of Lead Belly's music covered a wide range of subjects, including gospel songs, blues songs about women, liquor, racism, folk songs about cowboys, prison, work, sailors, cattle herding, dancing, and songs concerning the newsmakers of the day, such as President Franklin Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, the Scottsboro Boys, and multi-millionaire Howard Hughes.

Leadbelly - Pick a Bale of Cotton (1945)
Wow hearing that made me so happy. Thanks NickyP.
I came across Blues in general with Leadbelly and Robert Johnson back in Africa reading up on popular music in the Encarta 95 CD that came packaged with the computer the family bought. It's funny looking back now, realizing that was the only source of alternative musical exposure I had then. I still think Microsoft is evil though.
