A strong alt-country show at the Beachland Tavern, yes PLEASE. It was actually Roger Hoover's opening slot that actually made me pay attention to Shovels & Rope and I quickly liked what I heard. I also hadn't seen Roger Hoover in a long time (and I've been watching him for a long time). He hasn't missed a beat. With a new band and a new album, Roger Hoover still has the passion and sound that transcends a particular genre (blues/folk/country/rock). Get their new album!
Shovels & Rope was about what I was expecting. They were alt-country with a strong, raspy female lead and a driving beat. Good stuff really. I can't say I was blown away, but I'd give them another chance.
