Resplendent in Dignity

From the CD Project...

The Badlees - River Songs (1995)

Grade: DNL

Comments: Unmemorable roots rock except for the single "Angeline is Coming Home", which was a nice little hit in 1996. The Badlees are the result of one too many Columbia House memberships. (That keg was pretty much kicked by 1996, when I ordered this.) I also blame Philadelphia radio. I was in law school in Philly from 1995 to 1998, and the best thing on the radio was WXPN (the local NPR outlet). XPN fed into my tendency to be a sucker for anything with a banjo or harmonica in it, and I wound up buying crap like this.

That's why I don't ask lawyers for advice about music.
