Song Review: The Milk Carton Kids - “Charlie” (Live, 2023)
As modern folk music goes, it doesn’t get a lot better than the Milk Carton Kids. And “Charlie” is a standout title.
But as they imagine the titular, first-born daughter, Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan realize they have a problem.
Charlie, there’s just one little thing/before we meet, some lovely spring/I have to go and you find you a nice mama/she’ll be just like me and you, perfect in just what we do/love as strong as father and his daughter, Pattengale sings.
Recorded live at 2023’s Green Mountain Bluegrass & Roots festival, the track finds Pattengale and Ryan intertwining their acoustic guitars and voices like the great harmony duos that preceded them. And, as this just-released video makes clear, they’re every bit as perfect on stage as in studio.

Song Review: Milk Carton Kids - “North County Ride” (Live on eTown)
As if anyone doubted it, the Milk Carton Kids’ next album will translate flawlessly on to the stage.
Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan performed “North Country Ride” recently on “eTown.” The live version represented the fifth song to emerge ahead of I Only See the Moon’s May 19 release and demonstrated yet again that the only way the Kids on stage differ from the Kids in studio is their guitars and voices sound purer in the former setting.
Melancholic as ever, the Milk Carton Kids’ flawless vocal harmonies and guitar interplay infuse their morose lyrics with deep-seated feeling of being alive when they sing:
I know how hard it is to fight with the whole of the world/I know the scars you had, the most beautiful scars
Morbidly depressing stuff. Yet the Kids’ blood-kin-minus-shared-DNA harmonies and intwined strings emphasize the sweetness of life over the bitterness of traversing it.
