I'm glad I found Smokelahoma by playing around on CDBaby.com one day - it's not typical country/bluegrass, but it's very, very cool. You should hit "Play All Songs" and give this album a chance - you'll probably find yourself forking over $12.97 to buy the album. ;)

So glad I was turned onto Smokelahoma from a friend on Philadelphia PA's WXPN radio's bulletin board. What a fine group of musicians! Such a shame they are (as another reviewer put it) "under the radar" because people just don't know what thier missing out on. Hopefully Smokelahoma will get the recognition they deserve in the coming months and years. I've enjoyed every song on Bucket Of Clams (in itself rare these days for me)and am impressed with the way the guitars "envelope" you in the music rather than attack you like so much of the crap out there does these days. The vocals are clean and crisp (hats off to the prodution team as well guys!) with lush harmonies that just plain sound great. I thought I heard a Hammond in there! I LOVE bands that haven't forgotten the importance of a well-placed organ sound melded into the mix. Awesome! Especially liked your take on Guthrie's "Coming Into Los Angeles". A real fine effort guys. As I said, I'm new to Smokelahoma, but for damn sure, I'll be back for more of thier earlier stuff. I must also give Kudos to CD Baby, as they were a definate influence in my purchasing this CD. Why? Up until now, the only way I knew of getting music samples (other than the artist's direct website) was through sampling on Amazon.com where you get a "whopping" 30 seconds for each song. Whoop-de-doo. With CD Baby's 2 full minute sampling, your'e able to get a real good taste of what the music's about. Definately helped sell this happy camper. Keep up the great work everybody! Peace.

you can't go wrong with these guys. just good music to put you in a good mood.

In a world of over-produced music that is doused with effects, Smokelahoma's Bucket of Clams is a revelation. It's nothing more than a heartfelt album filled with top-notch songs that lift up your spirit, and this fantastic release serves as a fine reminder that there is true beauty to be found in simplicity
