okay here's the dill pickle (deal):"ROOT DAMAGE" is a the result of a serious excavation through the blues/country/roots rock n' roll releases in the sympathy catalogue...there has been a lot of it through the years and it just seemed like time was due to take a closer look..."root damage" is a glorius and thoroughly unholy assemblage... the cover art was commissioned from rob and christian clayton...if you are unaware of the marvels of these rural rapscallions do yourself a favour and check them out at www.claytonbrothers.com
