Nashville's Lambchop return to retail shelves next month with their eleventh full-length studio album OH (Ohio). Over the years the country-soul collective has employed as may as 16 sixteen members, rotating in and out of the fold, but for this go-round the lineup is slim (relatively speaking) with a core of eight musicians tapped for [...]~~

Its restrained combination of new and old, tradition and innovation, sums up the strengths of OH (ohio), an album which isn't another Lambchop masterpiece, but rather a fine addition to an extraordinary body of work.

I am one who loves a good snowstorm........and we had one last night...I measure 13 inches in the back yard. The sun has not yet reemerged and so its a very "flat" light out there.....somehow making the snow impossibly white...not "hurts the eyes to look at" white.....More like the world has been buried in marshmellow fluff. There is something about an unmolested expanse of snow that just ...

this is what I'll post.Since Lambchop released their Is A Woman album back in 2002 it has been my favorite sunday album. I never get tired of it and I would definitely bring it to the island. I often put this album at the top of my imaginary all-time greatest album list.So many people........so much peace.I got my hands on the limited edition containing a bonus disc. The first track is a cover ...

I just discovered these guys. They're generally classified as "alt-country" but I don't know why. I've only nabbed their collection since of the turn of the millenium so, I dunno, maybe in the 90's they were more country but what they sound like to me is a very white soul group with hints of Nashville (their home) thrown in. Maybe that's the "alt". Regadless of where they're stocked on the shel...

Prior to the MC Chris show (see below) I was at the Lambchop show down the road. (I do have some taste). The Lambchop contingent was somewhat reduced from the 15 or so member line up - just Kurt, drums, keys and a few guitars. There were, however, augmented by the Tosca string quartet. Tosca, if you are not familiar, is a hip classical act from Austin - most noted for doing the soundtrack to...

My increasing tendency to sop up laboriously slow and methodical roots music like it was jalapeno-vinegar gravy (that is to say, I'd lap it up with cornbread from my plate and yours, and a straw if need be) is quickly becoming the stuff of parody. So when I saw the description on the new Lambchop record that "they take a mellow and contemplative Leonard Cohen-like turn," I almost didn't play it...

Lambchop - Give It from Merge Records on Vimeo.This video for Lambchop’s “Give It” begins with quotes from Pitchfork and Aquarium Drunkard gushing about how amazing their performance was at the Merge XX show. It’s an intense clip that starts softly and raises up the energy one notch at a time until you find yourself wondering how the room didn’t explode. I stumbled on this today and I’

Does the name of a band ever put you off?Names of bands that I think put people off, when really the music would be something they would quite like if they listened to it:LambchopCustardThe Bloodthirsty LoversVolebeatsOn the other hand, if these band names put you off, then the music probably would as well:Butthole SurfersRevolting CocksAny more in either category?
