LAMBCHOP
It takes a small miracle to
get twelve people to gather together regulary. It takes a somewhat bigger
miracle if those twelve all hold down full time jobs as floor sanders,
journalists, carpenters, sound engineers and the like. But the biggest miracle
of all is that those twelve people can all gather together, in what little
spare time they have, to create the music of mournful depth, moving sincerity
and perverse wisdom that is Lambchop's.
Over four albums (and one mini album) of remarkable beauty, Nashville’s finest
(and largest) have honed and refined their country drenched soul music,
creating some of the most elegant and touching melancholia to have emerged from
both the city and its tradition.
Lambchop's strength is in their attention to detail, both lyrically and
musically. Their extreme sensitivity sets them apart. This is no idle recycling
of tired cliché, this is The New Sound Of Nashville.
