The Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit –The ghost of good manners (2009) 4****
From Country & Western to alt. country with dashes of old timey and hillbillyness makes this an album that really should be talked about as a classic by now! Great songs, great playing and two gifted singer songwriters. A new album is due soon and will certainly get the full review
treatment.
