Lambchop- If you guys haven't heard Lambchop, get thee to a record store! They're an often-14 piece Nashville band doing an inexplicably perfect blend of classic Lee hazlewood-esque 1970's country (the morricone-y strings, the cavernous drums, the ghostly slide guitar) and 1970's R&B (the smooth horns, the thrumming hammond, the wah-wah guitars). They're hot hot hot.

I thought Lambchop was great right up to "Is a Woman," which I don't like at all, because of the piano-centric arrangements. Fooey on Tony Crow. But I give unconditional five-thumbs-up to "Nixon," "What Another Man Spills" and "How I Quit Smoking," and to about half of "I Hope You're Sitting Down." William Crump
