They definitely have that personal feel that was the whole reason that folk ever appealed to me. Very very americana/appalachian. I know I've heard similiar vocals somewhere else but I just can't put my finger on it. They're very stripped down. And they're from North Carolina.

They're ok nothing to brag about, I can easily find a better band than these guys on the intrnet. But they did have some creativity they gained some points on that one.

Better how? I don't really see where and how they're lacking and you didn't say either.

Well since i'm not a big fan of folk I'm not the best person to ask but their missing that well needed power that I feel they're missing.

I do love folk music, but theres something not so good about this, not sure what, i dont think the drum in My Oldest Memory does anything, it sounds shocking. Hmm, theres much better folk bands out there.

Just my opinion.
