Does it get any better than Flatland Cavalry and the Turnpike Troubadours?

And recently, Flatland paid homage to Turnpike with a little cover of “Empty As A Drum” during their soundcheck at the Choctaw Casino Grand Theater in Durant, Oklahoma

Flatland frontman Cleto Cordero treated us all to a video on Twitter of him playing the track acoustically before their show in the home state of the Turnpike Troubadours Saturday night.
Because “when in Oklahoma,” as the caption reads, playing Turnpike just seems right.
