September 67 - Lucky Shoe (1996)

September 67 was a pairing of Kristin Asbury and Shannon Worrell with backing musicians, including some who also contributed to Sparklehorse's Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot. Asbury played accordion, drums, harp, vocals, and the Wurlitzer, while Worrell sticks to guitars and vocals. Hailing from the same Charlottesville, VA musical enclave that created the Dave Matthews Band around the same time (they also toured together), September Sixty Seven will appeal less to Daveheads than fans of the Blake Babies, Sheryl Crow, Shelby Lynne, Cracker folk, and roots rock who will find Lucky Shoe an inspired (and largely undiscovered) gem.
