I came across this cd purely by accident a few years ago and it was a pure delight. It's a refreshing trip through American roots music ranging from cajun to old-time to depression-era pop. I only wish I had been aware of them when they were playing the circuit.

Bought this CD for one song--See You In C-U-B-A--which is the best version I've heard of this Prohibition classic. Arhoolie always fills their CD's, just short of 80 minutes with this one, as two albums are included. AOTSB is a talented bunch of women!

If you're looking for a charming, unassuming all-acoustic album to simply fall in love with, then give this CD a spin. This San Francisco Bay Area ensemble was one of the most charming -- and accomplished -- of the late -70s string band revivalists. This CD combines two LPs originally issued in 1978 and 1980, and features their lovely version of the goofy melodic oldie, "C-U-B-A". Sweet stuff, and highly recommended.
