New Additions: Absinthe by Ugly Stick

Dave Holm is a busy guy, and it was only a matter of time before I ran into one of his projects. In this case, it's Ugly Stick. The band formed in the early 90s and put out an album in 1993 and 7" in 1994 before he turned his attention to other bands like Bigfoot and The Townsmen. The band would occasionally play out, and another album was released in 2008, but it took me a while to track down the '93 debut Absinthe. I'm glad I did because this sort of country-rock crossover is solidly up my alley with my appreciation for bands like Uncle Tupelo.
