Clark Brothers

GIMME SHELTER

This is yesterday's news but here is the winners of the Next Great American Band. The show was no where as popular as American Idol but it bring a couple of talented bands to national notice. The religious beliefs of the three of the bands, the Clark Brother (winners), Denver and Mile High Band (third place) and Franklin Bridge were openly flaunted.

My favorites throught the entire run did happen to be the Clark Brothers because they were so different then mainstream. How different? They didn't have drums or keyboards the majority of the time (They brought in two additional temp members for one show) but relied on a fiddle, guitar, dobro guitar, mandolin and extremely moving and intense vocals to set them apart.

Are they the Next Great American Band? Unlikely but they should be.
