You know that great
feeling when you hear a song and instantly check their tour schedule? Praying to the great music gods that they
will soon be stopping by your town? I
just felt it. This is what Kings of
Leon/Whiskeytown/etc. wish they were.
Indiana alt country with badass licks, great lyrics, amazing violin and
some of the catchiest dang songs I’ve ever heard.
I will admit that they
had me when a sticker and not a download card fell out of the cassette when I
opened it. And there was a sweet booklet
glued into the j-card! I popped the tape
into the tape deck and sat down, inches from the speaker. Hoping against hope the music would match the
packaging. It was good. No! It was great!
Thoroughly aurally
aroused, I greedily listened to it all the way through, fumbling drunkenly at
the end of side A to flip it over as fast as possible. I drooled happily in front of the
speakers. Giggling occasionally with the
joy that comes from finding some new great tunes.
