This band are, in my opinion, one of the best folk/acoustic acts in the world today. Having heard they supported Counting Crows at a local concert I didn't manage to attend, I thought I would check them out to see what I missed - and I missed a LOT! Their beautifully written tracks on "3 Rounds for a Sound" include some of the most original acoustic guitar work i've ever heard. In my opinion, their album does not have one fault to it - each lyric is placed perfectly after the one before. Some songs are beautifully simple with just Israel (singer) and his acoustic, whilst others collaborate many different instruments. Music speaks better than words and I don't class myself as a good reviewer so i've posted 2 songs off the album and a track off the album that was played live. enjoy.
