Nonesuch says the band wrote it; we could not confirm a songwriter credit. It was released ahead of the album as a promotional static video single after "Julep" and "I Blew It Off", per Bluegrass Today. We found no statement on its subject. They played it on NPR's Tiny Desk in March 2015, on NPR's World Cafe on February 10, 2015, and to open the set at the House of Blues in Boston on March 6, 2015, filmed by WGBH. At Live From Here in New York on December 15, 2018, Eldridge and Pikelny joined Thile for an extended encore of it with Jon Batiste, and reviewers of the 2019 Melbourne show singled it out. "Boll Weevil", track seven at 2:36 or 2:37, is a traditional song popularized by Lead Belly about the beetle that ruins cotton crops; Discogs credits an arrangement by Punch Brothers, with Thile on mandolin and lead vocal, Witcher on fiddle and Kowert on bass.

Our recording is titled with both songs and may be the studio pair or a live medley. We found no covers or samples.
