With a backing band that includes an impressive cast of Austin players, the duo delivers gentle ballads cut with a psychedelic country swirl, McMeans’ gorgeous vocals traded with Russell’s down-to-earth sound. Following 2006 EP Don’t Play to Lose, the group released their appropriately-titled sophomore effort, Crooked Highway, this past year, and are planning a live album for sometime in 09.
