Dogwood and the Shakers

s/t

(Self-issued)

Impeccably picked six-string maneuverings shake dust from boot-heels and go to town like the woods are on fire. Nor are cowtown-comfortable guitar calesthenics leader Zander's sole specialty; his direct vocalizing is of everyman quality -- except, of course, not every man can pull it off so admirably. (And wasn't it was decent of him to present only songs of the finest kind?)
