In the mood for Lambchop anyone? (11/12/2009)

Posted by Contributing Intern on Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 8:39 AM

Lambchop The long-running Nashville ensemble defies categorization, blending classic countrypolitan, '70s soul, chamber pop, experimental synth accents and just enough rock to remain in that aisle at the record store. But everything orbits leader Kurt Wagner, arguably one of our best lyricists and chroniclers of the quotidian. With his omnipresent trucker's cap, Buddy Holly glasses and hoarse delivery, Wagner doesn't exactly exude romantic lead, but he's seen enough to know there's no end to human folly – and narrative fodder – when it comes to affairs of the heart. All that keen-eyed detail winds up ennobling our efforts, and once Lambchop gets under your skin – fuggetaboutit, they're there for good. A freakin' bargain at $10. Visulite Theatre (John Schacht)
