The fact that this wonderful "true country" group with its amazingly talented lead singer, Rhiannon Giddens, is not a household word yet is astonishing..
Lawrence E. Alba. .......Their only problem may be that they don't fit anyone's stereotype....but they are a wonderful group and they are maybe a real contribution.
