Myxer Pick for Tuesday, November 11, 2008
Perk up those ears and pay close attention here kiddies; Charlie Shafter & Co. surely ain’t your grandma’s lawn ornaments! Hailing from Illinois, yet carving a long, winding path through the Lone Star State, these alt-country folksters rock and rock rather well! Touches of Neil Young, Tom Waits and the Americana of Nebraska-era Springsteen creep into the sonic palette of this amazingly talented act! Today’s featured track is their sublime, organ-heavy number, the immaculate jam, “Diamonds.”
