But....when done right (a rarity, IME), it can be great (per the attached clip).
Anyone else have recommendations along this line.

Afghan Whigs/Twilight Singers. Very similar use of cello, maybe leaning harder to the rock/R+B side of things though.

PS Maxnewid - thanks for the heads up on Room of Songs. I thought that I owned everything Alejandro has ever recorded, but I must have missed that one somehow.
