Strange Boys

Add Date: October 25 

Artist: Strange Boys 

Album: Live Music 

Label: Rough Trade 

Genre: Blues, folk, rock 

Comments: Disclaimer by the label: "THIS IS NOT A LIVE RECORDING." (The "live" in Live Music rhymes with "give," not "hive.") While this isn't a live album, I can only assume that Strange Boys' performances must be thrilling. For any of you folks who like Spoon or Mumford and Sons, which is virtually everybody, then you'll dig Live Music.

Folk and Wilco-like country and Ol' Fashioned 'Merican Rock are the key ingredients to this record. I guess you could say this would be great music for a campfire, or something rural like that. While this is, of course, no Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Live Music presents a legitimate "American" styled album that succeeds in impressing. "Me and You" is a good track to start with.
