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.
