Any Lambchop fans here? recommend an album plz.

I do not remember their names but, after first buying 'Is a Woman' I bought a few of their higher rated albums (allmusic) and they were not as good IMO. The style of them is more typical pop/alternative music. I can not think of another group to compare them to and also have not listened to them in a while but this is my original impression. BTW Is a Woman is one of my favorite albums of the past several years so I was a bit disappointed by their other efforts.

I would try Joe Henry's 'Scar''. In the same vein and very well recorded. Also, try to find things from a group from England called the Bather's - " kellingrove Baby" is a great disk, Finally, somewhat further from this vein I would check out some Badly drawn Boy, if you haven't already.

Along with, "Is a Woman", I also have "Treasure Chest of the Enemy". Kurt Wagner is one sick puppy (I mean that in a good way). My favorite cut is, "Kurt Wagner's Heart Attack". I heard, "Aw C'mon", and, "No, You C'mon". Again, good stuff, though not enough to make me buy these two. I don't think you can expect much different material from a band described by their label, Merge Records, as, "Nashville's most f*cked-up country band". Other "lo-fi" artists (similar?) I would recommend are Will Oldham (a.k.a. Bonnie Prince Billy), Jason Molina (from Songs: Ohia), and Iron & Wine. All have many excellent releases. And you might also like S.M.O.G. (Bill Callahan is quite good). All of these can be a little strange at times, but in a good way. Good luck.

Great recommendations from Rockadanny. I love Oldham's work! Lambchop's newest release, "Damaged" is excellent, if you buy the LP you'll get a free download of the album as well for your digital digs. "Aw c'mon" and "no c'mon" both have a lot of instrumental tracks. "Nixon" and "Hank" are alot of fun. I really dig their sense of humor, and excellent playing. In my opinion you can't go wrong with any of their offerings. have fun.
