Get Lambchop's first (i think) album - it's called 'how i quit smoking' - it's absolutely brilliant - it's got 'the man who loved beer' on it, which is a swoon-inducingly gorgeous melange of slide guitars and deep drawling vocals. Plus they're the only band i've ever known to credit one of their members exclusively to playing open-end wrenches and lacquer thinner can. I'm not a great country fan, but this is fantastic. Not much b&s content really.... hmm, actually lambchop have roughly as many members as b&s (about 9 i think) - rather tenuous, but never mind. rob xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

It's also got the 'save it for a future spouse' heart to heart speak of 'Theone'. With an instrumental reprise. Verily a stonking melter of an album. yerluvinuncleTurt ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

actually, lambchop's first album is "jack's tulips" aka "i hope you're sitting down" i have to write this in because lambchop is one of my favorite bands. and at last count there were 13 members in the band. "jack's tulips", in my opinion, is far superior to "how i quit smoking". and "hank" is pretty good, also. and on the new one, "thriller", they cover three east river pipe songs, which i think the duke brought up a long time ago.

John is absolutely right ! There is nothing interesting about the music, lives or personal mores of the like of George Jones, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson. Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Jerry Jeff Walker, Townes Van Zandt, Dolly Parton, Iris DeMent, Junior Brown, Alison Kraus, David Munyon, Richard Buckner and loads of other n'er do owts. regards, yercountryluvinuncleTurt ps. he IS bang on about Lambchop, Palace and Silver Jews though. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
