I've twice seen them perform live acoustic sets in smaller venues and those young'uns flat know how to make good music. I'd love to hear the result if they went to Rounder and recorded a "Family & Friends" style album like Ricky Skaggs did back during the 1980's. I'd highly recommend they invite Megan Mullins along too! (lol) Hey, it's about time for Joey and Rory to step up and become the George and Tammy, or the Conway and Loretta of the new century! Somebody's got to do it.... PS - I rarely spring for new CD's any longer but did buy the "Swings & Heartaches" album from Lilly of the West off CD Baby recently. Released back in April its a Bulgarian acoustic string band approach to some classic songs and it totally swings. Even the two Bulgarian traditional folk songs are starting to grow on me. Highly recommended for fans of "The Hot Club of Cowtown". Rating: 4 Stars Cheryll Green of Eden’s Edge was raised in a bluegrass family band and that gal also has some serious musical chops.

Seriously.</i> Barry, I sure hope you're right here. When I heard the news, I couldn't help but think that one of the few major label country artists that took a terrific big leap into the deep end of the lyric pool also took a bullet to her record deal in the process.
