The .357 String Band has spent the last four years criss- crossing America and Europe in half broken down vans, playing in filthy rock and roll clubs and honky tonks, sleeping on floors and couches, or if neccessary underneath the stars. This album, their sophmore effort, reflects not only their hard-travelling, hard-living lifestyles, but also a refinement and musical maturity only hinted at on their first album. Tightly written compositions and a lyrical depth not often achieved in the "Outlaw" genres make The .357 String Band a force to be reckoned with. This ain't your granddaddy's bluegrass, this is STREETGRASS.
