Ken Oak Band has just released it's new album, Vienna to Venice. An autographed copy can be had for 15 bucks including shipping. Now that's a bargain for an album that's packed with great songs. Far from the synthesized and overly edited garbage you expect out of most groups, KOB presents a refreshingly unique approach to that old time rock and roll. The mellow tones of Ken's cello provide an interesting and soothing contrast to the relatively contemporary acoustic guitar (Ed Gorski). Their site also features a player where you can listen to all the songs from their first album, Symposium (also a great purchase!).
