"Andy Hersey is part of the dying breed of cowboy songwriters who specialize
in narratives true to their native land – in this case, Hersey's native
Southwest, as well as more universal affairs of the heart… These are fully

commercial country radio these days.”.

SOME OF MY FAVORITE BANDS
http://www.citizencope.com

and turns them into universal truths. He sets them to the simplest of
melodies, and weds those in turn to the most soul-stirring grooves.
http://www.crackersoul.com
Following the break-up of his seminal 1980's band, Camper Van Beethoven,
David Lowery, formed Cracker with Johnny Hickman. Anchored by Hickman's
pan-rock stylings they glide seamlessly between rock, alternative and
country musical styles, flummoxing those wanting to pigeon-hole the
band, and giving them the freedom to consistently re-invent themselves.
