Masters of Old-Time, Zowie!!!

Now, I need to see them live!! "Delicious Moments" blew my minds!! Yes, both of them. This supergroup sounds like they jumped straight off the Harry Smith records into my listening lounge. They've got "it" and sounds effortless. it must be flowing in their veins. And from Los Angeles even!! Powerhouse vocals, fiddle, guitar, mando, jugz, uke, etc. There's way more here than in your average modern "old-time" CD release. Another thing, the production is perfect. It doesn't get in the way of the band. No effects, no fancy stereo BS. It is crisp and up front just like the old 78s! It is old-time, exotic, racy and hilarious.

The album is like a time machine, whizzing you back to sounds of bunk house orgies. Listen to this album and you will savor "Delicious Moments".

And so did the Bedouin tribesman sitting next to me at the stop light.
"Fourth Street Mess Around" was a religious experience for me. I was astounded.
