Sometimes those strange "other people who bought the Handsome Family, also bought this" links really hit paydirt. It's great coming to a whole new musical genre from nowhere, and there's no knowing history to contend with, and all you have to do is judge the music by the number of times your jaw drops open when you listen to it for the first time. my jaw dropped loads of times. Cocaine Habit. Loved the dodgy intro. My Good Girl. Yep, It's Arlene, but it still takes you by surprise when you realise. New Virginia Creeper. Surely that's Lee, at work, at work. Let It Alone. Sod those PC attitudes. God's Got It. Whoo! These Alabama boys sure know irony. Don't Ride That Horse - I've played it more than any other track. Utterly haunting. Bobcat Tracks. A joyous laugh from start to finish. I loved it so much, I went on the website and bought the t-shirt. Got a free CD and a car sticker as well. Fantastic.

But not necessarily a bad thing, as 2004's O.C.M.S. was easily the best bluegrass crossover since The Mountain by Steve Earle & Del McCoury.
The mix is much as before, treading a fine line between esoteric, traditional & mainstream, with many of the songs following the templates laid down by the debut, but familarity hasn't yet started to breed contempt. Though maybe there's no need to go looking for a third perky little number with Cocaine in the title for the next record,lads.
It's a whole lot grittier than Alison Krauss or Nickel Creek & so should appeal to the listeners who have perhaps been alienated by the more tasteful/MOR examples of country/bluegrass.
Relieved to see the continuing involvement of Rawlings & Welch on the production/playing side, always a guarantee of artistic integrity. Just a little worried that Rawlings seems to have had a hand in helping to write nearly half the songs, which perhaps smacks a little of relying on him too much in the studio to tie up loose ends.
Perhaps it's time to mix things up a little next time, fellers, & get somebody like Steve Earle involved. But all in all it's an excellent follow-up; great vocal & instrumental work & still boasting the outstanding involvement of the insanely named Critter Fuqua (has rock or country come up with a better name?.)

It's OCMS - so buy it.
Not as good as the previous 'OCMS' album (but then, what is??).
A track like James River Blues is worth the money in itself. The rest is merely great. Read more

Biggest disappointment of the year
I bought this album having heard "My Good Gal" on The Word magazines's cover cd. This is probably my favourite track of the year, and I cannot stop playing it. Read more

A good second album.
Okay,let's get this out of the way straight from the gate - OCMS' second album is pretty familiar to anyone who owns or has listened to their first. Read more
