Although based in Nashville, Tennessee, the capital of country music, Lambchop cannot easily be classified into a genre and certainly not into that of traditional country music. The collective around frontman Kurt Wagner has a fluid membership, at times including as many 18 musicians, and is frequently associated with alternative country. Lambchop’s music combines wryly ironic lyrics that are complex in form and content with harmonious tunes and soulful background vocals.
It is indebted to folk and country as much as to the smooth soul of Barry White, Curtis Mayfield or Marvin Gaye and can be seen as a fine exemplification of Kris Kristofferson’s famous line: “country music is the white man’s soul”.

re: N.O - that's one of my favourite tracks, though the line 'a human pile/of hair and come' always makes me gag a little.

What Another Man Spills is aces. Theme to Neil Miller is plain fun and N.O. is classic sad sap tear in a beer bottle Lambchop.

What's with comparing Kurt to Cat though? Y'all are weird.

Mr. M seems like an incredibly focused, mature, Is a Woman (winter to the latter's fall)...upon first listen. HOPE pitchfork helps these guys blow up, Kurt deserves it after all these years.

Getting a kind of Wilco vibe from these guys. I'm new to them though, so which albums should I be sure to check out?

He sounds like Cat Stevens mixed with Matt Berninger's baritone lounge style.

Beautiful (and incredibly sad) new album, currently loving "2B2". Reminds me quite a bit of the sombre tracks from their non-release Treasure Chest Of The Enemy (2001) - "Greylines In Heaven", "Gettysburg Address", Puppy and The Leaf", "Flub".
