I saw Hadacol last night here in Nashville. It was a sadly unattended show. I have no doubt in my mind that Ronni and I were the only ones there to see Hadacol. I was really impressed. It's kind of refreshing to hear a little keyboard mixed with your alt-country. They are good players who write good songs. My initial impression of the disc was that it was just a rung above standard generic alt-country with a few stand-out tracks. But, the more I listened to it, the more I dug it. I liked them even better live. They put a bit of a twist on things (a song about a recently deceased father done as a polka. It really was touching.). I'm guessing they have some punk rock roots. Does anyone else hear strains of the Minutemen in Hadacol? There was something vaguely familiar about the vocals. I thought that it might be X, but then it hit me - D Boone. Am I crazy? Does anyone else hear it? Anyway, I recommend seeing them. I had a great time at their show. marie
