So, I'm talking to my brother, and he says, "Guess who I ran in to? One of the kids that used to live across the street from us in Cedar Hill [Texas]. And he's got a band." So, he tells me where to find them... but I'm not holding my breath. You know how it goes. The band usually isn't very good. So, when I tuned in their MySpace, I didn't hear what I expected.This is one of the best albums in my collection.
Go listen to several of the songs on the band's MySpace. Seriously. I won't go on to describe songs or how I feel when I listen to it. This music is so... tender that all the talk spoils it. Cheapens it. Just go listen.
They're playing Indie Rock / No Depression Country. It should appeal to anyone who likes The Wallflowers, Gin Blossoms, Over the Rhine, Jon Foreman, and Jonathan Reuel (JRL).
The sad part: After giving it a go 5 years... they're giving up. Their last concert is Jan 3 2009 at Dada (Deep Ellum/Dallas). Don't let that stop you, though. This is good music.

Just saw this and checked out the site. They're good--and they're growing on me. Do you know Gillian Welch? She has a really nice rendition of "Miss Ohio", but I like the New Frontiers' version a lot too.
