I stumble upon this while working in a second hand book store. Sometimes sample cds and one submitted to companies are in among loads of books bought. I put this away for several years with some others without playing. One last year, november, I was cleaning, so I listened to them to decide keep or throw away. We got these 'sample' free and it is a way to get cd cases free. I played this. I couldn't throw it away. Powerful, lyrical, human, funky music. It is the only thing I have of them. I have checked their site. Plan to buy everything.
I guess that this was to be a best of collection.

Jolie Holland founded the BGTs & I have her Catalpa album. She has a fairly distinct vocal style that maybe needs a few plays to get used to. Different, anyway.
