Any Lambchop fans here? recommend an album plz.

I first heard of Lambchop here on AudiogoN and promptly bought "Is a Woman". I like it but the lyrics and vocal style are a bit odd and I sometimes find myself wishing it were an instrumental record. I really like the cut "the old matchbook trick".

I've been reading the reviews on Amazon and it appears that the other Lambchop records are a bit different. If you are a fan, let me know which other Lambchop albums you like and tell me a little bit about the style. I understand some have a bit of county flavor, some have horns and some drive a little harder than the slow and melancoly "is a woman".

Thanks and enjoy,

TIC

I do not remember their names but, after first buying 'Is a Woman' I bought a few of their higher rated albums (allmusic) and they were not as good IMO. The style of them is more typical pop/alternative music. I can not think of another group to compare them to and also have not listened to them in a while but this is my original impression. BTW Is a Woman is one of my favorite albums of the past several years so I was a bit disappointed by their other efforts.

thanks Prfont for the recommendation,

I am listening to Joe Henry's 'Scar' for the first time as I write this and I can see the similarities to Lambchop's 'Is a Woman'. It is a little more upbeat and jazzy but with the same sounding guitar tone and similar disc sound which is to say, superior to most recordings. I think Joe henry sounds more like Lambchop than Badly Drawn Boy which is a big production in comparison and sounds a bit like Moby to me.
