Hoots & Hellmouth give a wild show, I’m guessing. I mean, just look at that picture below?! And if you pop over to their MySpace page you will find a number of just whacked out, fast-moving, blue-grass inspired folk/pop songs.  But don’t stop there, there’s also some slower, more  nuanced ballads.  This trio from Philadelphia delivers a variety of folk tunes that I very much look forward to hearing.  Their new album, The Holy Open Secret, is due out June 2nd on MAD Dragon Records (Ryko/WEA). Pre-order it here.
