Fifteen years ago, this group hot-wired punk-rock attitude to country music and helped prepare the world for everything from k.d. lang’s initial ruckus to the contemporary Son Volt. Now sober and seasoned, the band is back together, and many fans will embrace this album as its finest work ever. It extends from the kicking Kick Me Down to singer Jason Ringenberg’s haunting duet with Emmylou Harris on Everything Has a Cost, with plenty of surprises in between.
