Is there a better way to ring in your Friday than with Bo Diddley and a rain dance? If your answer is no, lend your ear to Hollis Brown, a five-piece heartland rock/folk outfit that hails from Queens, NY. Today's featured track, "Rain Dance," is off their new album, 3 Shots, which dropped last month, and features Diddley's legendary fingers on guitar. If you're scratching your head, the group built a new composition around a previously unreleased rhythm track created by Diddley in his home studio before he passed in '08.


For a continued taste, listen to the album's title-track here. Starting in July, you can catch the guys on tour for three months with Counting Crows. Select major market dates are posted below:
