I keep having to stop work to click over and find out who's playing.

This guy sounds like a combo of Joe Ely and The Maines Brothers and makes me miss living in Lubbock where the plains produces some really good groups that never, ever make it nationally.

Aw, c'mon now.  Buddy Holly was from Lubbock, TX!

I'm mostly a metal fan, but every once in a while a country rock song really hits the groove!

oops - the robot pulled the definition for Souvenir instead of the band profile. Pretty interesting, actually

Wow ~ I thought that the singer in the Souvenirs 1000 Miles Away song was a dead-ringer for Burton Cummings OF the Guess Who ~ maybe he comes from the same neighborhood in Winnipeg { W I N T E R P E G } for you locals ~ ha ah? ah? Notice i'm not saying, "Eh," eh?

You must be like me: have to get up from the keyboard and dance about!  (Sometimes I wish I worked behind a bar, or somewhere else where I could work, and dance.)

Oh well...

Billy and Jenny will never get old That's the kind of love in a story untold? Or something like that?? For those that missed the reference, move along... nothing to see here. Obviously the song moves away from there a bit, but still, I expect Mr. Plant to begin singing at some point.

An all time favorite album. I palyed the hell pout of this CD in the car when I first bought it, and it's good to hear it here. Lucky Lawrence's voice makes for such comfortable listening. Put on some more Souvenirs!

Sounds like: Los Lobos

That guitar march in the background reminds me of Personal Jesus.

certainly has a clapton feel at times, but a bit more adgy, not as smooth.

You and I walk a similar path all to often, downhomegirl. I LOVE the Billygoats and have stumped for them like no other band. I even tried to get them for my wedding reception, and was told they were no more. Then I got an email from legendary country music producer Brian Ahern that they were still together and rehearsing in his basement on a regular occasion. Anyway, Love the Billygoats. Love the Souvenirs and this album. Shame the other tracks I uploaded were vetoed.
