The Moxie Chicks
Middle Aged Garage Band (Moo-Town)
Abetted by fellow veteran Milwaukee folkie Jym Mooney, among others, acoustic music elder stateswomen The Moxie Chicks have been gigging at
feedback-free venues for a few years. Recorded live at The Coffee House, Middle Aged Garage Bandfinds them
mostly remaking old favorites with pleasantly quaint, occasionally poignant
results. The band sounds especially magical on an Everly Brothers oldie, but
they also know their way around Gillian Welch, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen
and Hank Williams, sometimes in gender-rearranged arrangements. It would be nice to hear more originals along
the lines of group member Jonnie Guernsey's lone contribution, a bluesy ditty
about Peter Pan's friend Tinker Bell.



great review! i know i'll get a chance to hear it soon.
