I first heard this amazing group on TV (Glastonbury '05) when they played an amazing cover of Motorhead's "Ace Of Spades" Let me first just start by saying that before I heard this band I was quite narrow-minded about 'bluegrass' music but these guys take it to another level - and some.

All the songs are co-written with Jon Carin (often a member of Pink Floyd over the past 20 years or so) and all, without exception, are beautifully constructed, grown up, mature songs.
