. "Basking in a remarkably classic, yet fresh, approach to roots rock that channels the Best Beatle and a love for Americana without venturing too deeply into rock’n’roll resurrection fantasies." Additional contributors on the album include Samuel Markus who co-wrote "Back Home To Harlem", "Cold In the Country", "Diamond Ring", "You Make Me Blue", "Trouble", "California Moon", and "Doctor", jazz pianist Bob Dorough and Devendra Banhart collaborator Andy Cabic. It was produced and mixed by Thom Monahan. The original release of the album consists of the tracks: # "Los Angeles" # "Back Home to Harlem" # "Cold in the Country" # "Diamond Ring" # "Doctor" # "Lonesome Road" For a limited time, an expanded version was released with the following extra tracks: # "The Tale Of Gustav Grimes" # "You Make Me Blue" # "Trouble" These additional tracks will be released on an upcoming ''outtakes/demos'' record.


''Lonesome''

Released November 20, 2007, the ''Lonesome'' EP is the band's self-released follow-up. It consists of tracks: # "Poor Bonnie's Affliction (Instrumental)" # "Untitled #1" # "California Moon" # "Murder Ballad In G Minor" # "Honey, Stay A While" # "A Bullet Painted Red" Like its predecessor, ''Lonesome'' received some critical praise. "Though only six songs, ''Lonesome'' manages to be one of the most complete and satisfying releases of the past year. Whether delicately crafting an exquisite piece of folk music (as on instrumental opener “Poor Bonnie’s Affliction” or the gentle “Untitled #1"), gradually developing a sonic gem in the vein of Wilco ("California Moon") or putting a fresh twist on the tried and true lyrical theme about devious women causing the ruin of poor, unsuspecting men ("Murder Ballad in G Minor"), the New York based group gives their music enough room to breathe, grow and resonate, never getting in the way."
