From the opening one-two punch of their classic remake of the Long Ryders "Final Wild Son" followed closely by no less than Chris Hillman playing mandolin on the next track, "Mr. Guthrie", you know this is the work of Sid Griffin & Co. Yes, the founders of Alt-Bluegrass (the worlds hippest genre, ask the Old Crow Medicine Show or King Wilkie) are at it again and ex-Long Ryder Sid Griffin is brewin up another potent exilir of catchy songs, great playing, sweet yet heartfelt harmonies and more than a few surprises. A sizeable indie chart hit in Europe this CD brought the Coal Porters to stages all across the UK and to tours of Norway, Spain and Portugal, The Netherlands, Italy and Germany with print reviews you simply could not buy.
