~strummergurl~Hey guys, listened to Milk That Cow, Charles White's Blues & and Chasin' It Down. Loved your stuff so honest and well put together. I'll come back and check the rest out.
Anyone named after a Laurel & Hardy film and citing Tom Waits as an influence gets my vote !Milk That Cow (;AWESOME TITLE;)Drew me right in.Reminds me of a song George Fox did live it was a Country Rap song though.This would be perfect for Fred Eaglesmith.Right up his alley.Fred who?(;U DA MAN;) Enjoyed the listen ever so much.Your Soundclick Bro.~(;Yrral Mallik;)keep representing the uk and keep doing your thing. check out my songs and sign the message board. nuff love peaceAll comments (8)
