The Beauty Shop - Yard Sale

Review by Dom Gourlay

To pigeonhole Illinois trio The Beauty Shop as just A.N.other alt-country collective would be nothing more than a great disservice. Instead, their mostly downbeat, downtrodden blues-tinged fables are deserving of much higher accolades, as singer John Hoeffleur could easily be the half brother of both Conor Oberst and Stephen Pastel if their respective parents had got it together three decades ago.»
