New Additions: Beetkeepers s/t Album

Some bands have multiple releases and tracking them down can be quite the quest, especially when self-released or released on long out of business local labels. Luckily, though the Beetkeepers only released one self-titled album in 1987 on Curt Schieber's No Other Records, a few copies have been floating around Columbus record stores, and I was able to grab a pristine copy recently at Elizabeth Records on Indianola. Based on a few descriptions, I was expecting a take on alternative country, but this less alternative and more straightforward, with a strong 70s singer/songwriter vibe.
