Fly Fishing Music: “We’ll Be the Light” by The Dirty Guv’nahs
The Dirty Guv’nahs provide a Southern rockin’ backdrop for the fly fishing film The Waters of the Greenstone, an official selection of the 2011 Fly Fishing Film Tour. The film itself is a non-fictional narrative about youth and vigor and adventure:
Taylor Kirkpatrick and Hardwick Caldwell have been friends since pre-school, fishing the local waters in Southeast Tennessee together for as long as they can remember. Ever since they picked up their first fly rods at age 9, they dreamed of one day going to an exotic land together to fly fish for their favorite species, brown trout. As the two friends grew older and guiding started to take away the fun of their favorite sport, they combined all the money they had saved over the years, bought a camera and plane tickets, and set off on their childhood dream.
Backpacking into the most remote places of New Zealand, the two friends explore one of the last true wilderness areas that is home to the world’s most elusive trout . . .
It’s appropriate, I think, to have musical accompaniment from a band that is equally youthful and equally vigorous (if you have any doubt on that one, just take a look at the video below). M Music Magazine said the following, however, about the Guvs: “Youth may be in their blood, but tradition guides their instincts . . . The Dirty Guv’nahs are wise in ways of rock and roll beyond their tender years.” Take a listen to “We’ll Be The Light” and you will see exactly what that all means.
