THREE DAY THRESHOLD- Home Cookin’ (321 Marlborough St. Ste B,
Boston, MA 02116) These guys mix country, bluegrass, and even a sniff of
Celtic to form a hectic country sound that will turn yer two-steppin’
into two-slammin’. If you’ve ever listened to The Violent Femmes’
Hallowed Ground, you know what I mean. “Whiskey, You’re the Devil”
sounds Irish pub enough to get a bar full of drunks in a sing along. Eddie
Cochran’s “20 Flight Rock” has a cool and uppity 50’s sock hop
sound that will have you looking around for a your hula-hoop. “Banks of
the Ohio” is a pure country ballad and rather boring. Hey, there’s
more pickin’, albeit banjo and not nose, going on here than a roomful of
kindergarteners. I doubt you could find a sound that is this unique and
different while still sounding this cool anywhere else. – Denis Sheehan |
