    Damn straight I heard of The Sheepdogs! Got their latest off of Itunes and I love it! Hear the Allman Brothers in there too. The singer has got kind of a Garcia type vibe too, IMO.

    I like their studio stuff, but was kind of bored by them when I saw them.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    They have SIX studio albums and Majestic Majesty was a bonus album that came with American Ghetto last year, it is a fully acoustic rendition of Satanic Satanist. they are a busy band, exploding with ideas apparently. Pretty epic record making.

    I got this album when it came out and gave it one listen. Last week I tried it again, and can't stop listening. This may be my favorite of the year so far. So glad I gave it another listen.
