Review: Very interesting and strange band I discovered from listening to Bakersfield Beat station on Sirius XM. I originally thought they were a 60’s era cosmic country- psychedelia band, but found they are a 90’s cult group that plays an eclectic mix of styles with unusual instrumentation (check out the cello), strangely semi-melodic vocals and an elusive categorization. Picked this particular album at random to check out, and liked it a lot, though not as country-ish as what I had previously hard on radio. John McRae is the founding member of the group which originated in the early 90s and is still going. This is 200 release of their seen studio album catalog. I’m going to pursue some more before my final assessment, but they are intriguing.
