From the Greater Longmont Metro Area, Bonnie & the Clydes perform faithful but fun versions of several familiar trad country tunes. It was their original "Make Up Your Mind" that caught my attention, though. Also new and noteworthy this week: Our first listen to the new Low Anthem CD that hits stores next week, and from out of nowhere a Hackensaw Boys EP!
