So I got their self-titles CD back in the mid/late 90's on a recommendation from BMG CD Club. Liked the album, listened to it many times over the years, but for some reason assumed they were a one album band so I never heard anything else from them. Well I was in Best Buy looking at CD's the other day and I see a "new" album from them (actually from '07). I buy it and like it about as much as the first one I've had all these years. I then decide to Google them and come to find out they released about 6 albums. Thanks to amazon, I now own all but 2 of them and think they are all equally good. Give them a listen and see what you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpUk4nBsFaE

    I've got a couple of CD's from both Storyville and Seven Mary Three, but I've never heard The Bottle Rockets. I'll have to check them out. I've actually seem both Storyville and Seven Mary Three live under somewhat unique circumstances. My brother used to work for a music trade magazine so he interviewed Malford Milligan after the show. My wife and I went to a Seven Mary Three concert and sat in the sound booth with one of the band members girlfriends who worked with my wife.

    I heard about Sixto Rodriguez on the sports radio station in Dallas (Of all places). Crazy story and I hear that "Searching for Sugar Man" is great.
