http://www.myspace.com/annalouvincentI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Please support us by buying our C.D. Thank you!Here is a nice little review of the disc from C.D baby!"This six piece from the great NW describes their sound as Americana,
blues, rag-blues from the 20â€--s and 30â€--s, country blues,
barrelhouse blues, jug band and trance blues. Needless to say, there's
a lot going on here, but it comes together with a finely understated
intuitiveness. While the overall sound is decidedly vintage, this
can't be shrugged off as novelty; the lyrics and the musicianship are
much too impressive. Mixing banjo, fiddle, harmonica, and percussabass
(a washtub bass contraption) to warmly conjure up the melodies, the
group produces an amazingly full yet loose sound, with members
stepping up and falling back as the song allows. Add to this the
percussive merits of washboards and even a suitcase, and you've got a
fully rounded sound that is both abstractly intelligent and
comfortably welcoming. While the majority of the album is brilliantly
penned original material, there are a few covers, one of which is a
rag blues take on Jane's Addiction's "Mountain Song." The arrangement
is well conceived, offering an unexpectedly sly reworking of the
track. If you're looking to take a trip back with some modern music,
make sure to give this one a listen.".. CDBABY LINK for SASSPARILLA: Debilitated Constitution --
