The acoustic quartet learned the secrets of country music , flatpicking and steel guitar blends turning their music style into a primal one with lengthy introductions for copy tunes, making them their own. How do classically-trained musicians go into country music? How a start of a song “Kinderhook Creek Lullabye” gave the band their name and how it changed Ain’t No Use, a Moby Grape tune into a foot stomping, country rock whirling dervish of a tune.
