We've teamed up with Come Hear NC on a podcast series that explores North Carolina music one song at a time. This week, musician Molly Sarlé talks about Jake Xerxes Fussell's version of 'Have You Ever Seen Peaches Growing On a Sweet Potato Vine?'

"He's one of those musicians that when you watch him play he just is the music he's playing. He settles in to the space around him and changes it effortlessly and it's a really beautiful thing to see."
