http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1514&rws=%2Flambchop%2Ftop-tracks.rssLambchop's down-tempo mixture of melancholia and what is occasionally country music is a welcome relief from "Alternative Country." The Nashville-based band began recording in the early '90s with a few singles that showed a band more interested in guitar pop than twang. By the time they released their debut, <I>I Hope You're Sitting Down</I> in 1994, the band's lineup had amassed to almost a dozen people and were well-versed in the dark, pedal steel-laden aspects of the best parts of country music. Their well-orchestrated material centers around singer/songwriter Kurt Wagner's tales of death and deodorizers and other subjects that would seem comical coming from most singers. Within Wagner's staid delivery and the band's striking arrangements, there is a sense of lyrical calm and musical grandeur that never veers into assault. On Lambchop's newer releases, both <I>What Another Man Spills</I> and <I>Nixon</I>, the band has found the natural relationship between country and orchestrated, classic Soul music. - Eric SheaAlt Countryen720Sat, 26 Dec 2009 21:09:07 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1514&rws=%2Flambchop%2Ftop-tracks.rss Lambchop's down-tempo mixture of melancholia and what is occasionally country music is a welcome relief from "Alternative Country."
