The members of Grant Lee Buffalo originally operated under the name Shiva Burlesque, but then reformed in the 90s under their new name.
The album has a definite feel of Americana to it. Tales from the dusty US back-roads, rendered in a mix of acoustic and over-driven guitars. My favourite is probably "Dixie Drug Store" the falsetto chorus of which, kind of reminds me favourably of U2's track "Numb".
There's a nice mix of raucous and rocking through to more mellow and meditative tracks.
