Donegal X-Press, the locomotive Baltimore band that has made their name with punked-up jigs and reels that snagged them CD of the year with the Irish Voice back in 2001, has cast their eye on this side of the Atlantic for inspiration.

More in line with the Black Crowes than the Black Velvet Band, the tunes marinade in a Jack Daniels sauce that yields smoke wafting out of your speakers with each listen.
