Currently promoting their new album “Four” on San Francisco’s Tallboy Records, the band is celebrating its 20th year together. ... more

If It Feels Good Do It - A Sloan Tribute
by Futureman Records
supported by 8 fans who also own “Ballad of Baltimore”
For me and my crusty, ringing ears, the tribute album lost it's charm long ago. But once in a while, there's still one that hits it outta the park. When the subject is as great as SLOAN, it's a can't lose proposition. I've never heard the majority of the acts here (tho I'm a big fan of Fireking), but damned if I hear a duff track on this set. If you're already a fan of the Halifax Heroes don't think twice, nab this 31 track monster! Another winner from Futureman.

Decent homage to what I consider one of the finest English (as in region in south of British Isles, rather than language or mistaken term for entire UK) Folk records of the Twentieth century.
