American beauty project

I know there are a few heads lurking out there. Don't know how many of you head about this project. I am sure you can google it and get a ton of reviews. Here is the link to the New York Times review.

Two things of mando interest. Andy Statman played on a few tunes and was part of the jams inbetween songs with Tony Trishka and Larry Campbell among others (I think).

And if you go to the myspace page, there is a great cover of New Speedway Boogie featuring just mando, bass, and vocals; which in my opinion is actually very good.

P.S. I didn't attend but maybe someone did?
