Tramps, Traitors and Little Devils

So, here we have a trio of exceptional musical talents -- Bill Callahan, Edith Frost and Neil Michael Hagerty -- all known from their work as solo artists, but this time, throwing their lot together for one crazy all-or-everything grab at the golden rings of the sun. And, just to show that magic's still in the moment. Tramps, Traitors and Little Devils makes it happen. It's the wildest set of trophies yet for the walls of this super group of performers. On Tramps, Traitors and Little Devils, Hagerty, Frost and Callahan come together in a fashion that recalls the epic scope of the collaborations from the days of the old gods -- the days of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and yes, even Young. What our three young heroes have created here harks back to the days of Déjà Vu with a combination of beautifully sweet tunes, hard-hitting tunes with lots of commentary about what's going on, as well as some kick-ass looks back at where some of us have been. Plus a few delightfully gratuitous hits thrown in for good measure. Good measure -- and fun. Ear pleasing, uptempo, total fun.
