Not an original I know but I think Mac catches the atmosphere fantastically. A bit timely this thread also as I did a few numbers with my mates band, The Redlands Palomino Co. at the Garage, Highbury. A fantastic little alt. country combo. Check em out at www.redlands.moonfruit.com. It got me thinking about the Bunns and this type of music. I dont think I have read anything that alluded to the band liking country although Will is a Byrds fan and I'm wondering if hes into their Sweetheart of the Rodeo album. Anyway, toodle-oo The Reverend Ian Presley. ====================================== The Official Seven-Seas Web Page. www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 23:35:49 -0000 From: "Shaz" Subject: seven-seas-moderated Youngsters these days *tut* Bored at work and found this review.........
