    Thanks for this post. Pretty good recording. I wish I would have seen these guys live.

  6. Bat Country says:

    Yeah, I’ve got another show from this tour hidden away somewhere. I don’t know why they never put “Today” on an album… what a great song, and boots like this are the only way I get to hear it.

  7. Steve says:

    Great post!

    Yet another band that I had not heard of before you posted them. I like their country-rock vibe.

    I’m going to go broke buying CDs of all these bands that I’m just finding out about.

    thank you once again.

  9. gregor says:

    steve, i am surprised you have never heard of whiskeytown before. i would definitely invest in strangers almanac and faithless street, the latter i love to no end.

  10. Tom says:
