Various Artists - Cuban Crooners / Various - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Famed music critic Dave Marsh said The Pines are Inchlike the great folk-rock bands of yesteryear... I didn't hear a better new band in 2008Inch and Q Magazine gave their debut CD SPARROWS IN THE BELL raves and 4 stars. Now the edgy alt-folk duo is back with an amazing follow up produced by the acclaimed producer Bo Ramsey. Based in the Twin Cities and steadily building a national following, The Pines are emerging as an important new voice in American roots music and we think this is their break-out recording. Album Tracks 1. Pray Tell 2. Heart & Bones 3. Shine on Moon 4. Lonesome Tremolo Blues 5. Meadows of Dawn 6. Skipper and His Wife 7. Spike Driver Blues 8. Behind the Time 9. Avenue of the Saints 10. Shiny Shoes
