A-3 ????.... Alabama 3.. yeah I'm with you now..

I've not heard or thought of them for about 10 years,
pretty certain the CD I have somewhere in a box is the first one.

I thought some of the tracks were excellent at the time, but now need to listen again.
Thanks for the reminder.

Maybe you might like a young indie artist from about early - mid 2000s "Simple Kid"
He recorded mostly at home, and toured with banjo and laptop.
Recently he posted a cryptic online 'retirement from music' statement
and disappeared into even deeper obscurity.
