We've released our cover of Bruce Springsteen's Youngstown, which we worked up for Howard Zinn & Anthony Arnove's show, "A People's History of the United States."

From the OLD-TIME HERALD!

The third release by the Bay Area group, ably produced by Austin's Lloyd Maines, displays the band's solidity and maturity, as well as the musical prowess of the individuals. The seventeen cuts blend traditional old-time songs and tunes with striking originals that convey a rootsy feel. Though the overall ambience is one of fun, a few songs, such as Hangman Tree and David and Goliath pack a thoughtfully powerful punch.

Several features distinguish this group from others. All the members sing, and well. Each member gets to sing lead, and the harmonic combinations are varied, keeping the lush vocals fresh and lively. Stay All Night is a boisterous all-sing that epitomizes the gals' vocal power. Secondly, there's a Dobro, and occasionally a Hawaiian slide. One might not imagine a Dobro blending well with old-time, but this one does. While not calling attention to itself it adds muscle and texture to the backup, and the occasional twangy leads are tasteful and pithy. Thirdly, Evie's machine-gun dancing on two cuts adds percussion and energy to the whole package.

These ladies are fine players and songstresses. Though I've not seen a live show, I'd imagine it would be very entertaining, and this quality has also transferred to the CD. Recommended.
