"Thunder From the North" is along with "Carolina Funk" (an amusing and amazing collection of rare funk from the sixties and seventies from the Carolinas, truly eye opening) one of my fave things music wise during the last couple months. That kinda good.
That's quite the recommendation. Love the Pogues (Shane's right there with Gram in the poet's league) and Doc Watson as well. I'll have to give them a whirl. Ever since Oh Brother, Where Art Thou, I've been wary of any band with the word "string" in their title. There suddenly 20 different bluegrass bands that all played with tongue firmly in cheek. I have little patience for kitsch, and lack of sincerity.

Thanks!
