Bumble Bee: Austin Style

I just heard a cover of "Bumble Bee" with an alt. country arrangement. However, I didn't catch the Austin based artist's (band's) name.

Richard: Thanks. I would love to hear this and will be on the hunt for it. Let's track this one down Roy.

I was listening to XM Radio's X Country, channel 12.

I found out that the band was Los Straightjackets with Mike Campbell. They are based in Nashville, not Austin. The following site has a clip.

Thanks Richard, I do know of Los Straitjackets but primarily they are seen as a instrumental group as far as I know.
