Lambchop - Gone Tomorrow

I don't know a huge amount about Lambchop although I am aware of them.  For some reason they have been on the periphery of my listening for what seems like years but this is the first time I have really sat down and listened to one of the songs, Gone Tomorrow, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAqMT3_NFyw&ob=av2n.
And I like it.  Really like it.  Laid back, cool, emotive, with an extended coda of mounting tension which never really leads anywhere (but is all the better for that), it comes from their latest album Mr M, which came out at the end of last month.

Singer Kurt Wagner is the lead singer of Nashville-based Lambchop who are described as an alternative-country band (horrible description that one, but never mind - use their record label's description of 'Nashville's most f*cked up country band' if you prefer).  Wagner never wanted to be a musician.  He was a painter and continued with this work when they began to be successful.  They have been around for a long time, since the 1990s, and have a back catalogue that is well worth delving into, eleven albums in fact.  As I have found out, this track is a good enough place to start.
