The Bacon Brothers

Ever notice how we accept the fact that some musicians can act, but then we have a harder time swallowing an actor turned musician? Well, get over it. Kevin Bacon and his brother Michael can actually write and play some intelligent and cathartic songs. Really! The Bacon Brothers blend a little rustic Tex Mex with some mellow Country-Folk. Warm acoustic guitars intertwine with accordion, brushes on a drum kit, and symphonious far-off vocal harmonies sung between two brothers. The funny thing is, nothing here sounds like any of the songs featured on the soundtrack for Footloose.
