Ramshackle, Not Insipid
Where Mumford & Sons is rowdy in an upbeat, jolly,
slap-o-the-thighs insipid way, to my listening, Cowgirl’s Train Set is raucous,
messy, slightly discordant [clearly musically proficient in a couldn’t-give-a-tuningfork-if-not-obviously-proficient
way] and very loud. Harmonica, fiddle and banjo are the prominent haphazard
though also well-played instruments.
I don’t know much about the band as there is little out
there, and a web site currently under construction. It’s all rather ramshackle,
and wonderfully so. It’s bluegrass folk, by the way.
