The third album from this Louisville-by-way-of-Chicago group is one of their best efforts, exemplifying how their alt country creak was more Carter Family and foothills melodies than post-Dylan twang. Luckily, they had songs to back up their eerie group persona as well, and this set has a few of their best.
