Review

These guys have a lot going for them and might want to expand the concept of how loveable they are. Vocalist Mark Weber has a tantalizing deep voice that is perfectly suited for the material this group does, a shopping list that would include traditional folk material, some fairly contemporary country and western covers, incredibly short versions of songs much of the population sang in grade school, and, just to liven things up, an occasional unaccompanied solo on fiddle or trombone. The latter is played by avant-garde great J.A. Deane, who hails from the same New Mexican neck of the woods as the rest of the band. This CD is a blast to listen to; it goes through the stereo like a small parade of accordions, jaw harps, hubcaps, toy pianos, and tubas. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide
