     I'm with Jeff here.  Normally I find them insufferable, but their
semi-bluegrass cover of "Wild Horses" was one of a mere *three* songs
that I liked on that godawful "Stone Country" album that came out last
year (the other two were Possum doing "Time Is On My Side" and Nanci
Griffith doing "No Expectations").  I think they have a good bluegrass
album in them somewhere if they have the guts to follow through with it.
