Exclusive video premier: "Friends" by Cracker with Patterson Hood

Here's a new video from Cracker's latest album, Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey (429 Records), featuring Patterson Hood. "Friends" is an earnest and amusing ode on the airtight bonds of a pair of drinking buddies. Originally penned by Cracker's own Johnny Hickman for his solo album Palmhenge back in '05, it was revived for a Sunrise duet between Hood and David Lowery this time around.

Following a November 6 date in Boston, Cracker will be touring Iraq to perform for U.S. troops. When they return in December, they'll follow that with a string of U.S. dates with Camper Van Beethoven. Dates for that tour are below. In the meantime, enjoy the video!
