After ‘sampling’ tracks via Bandcamp from the Shook Twins, Katelyn (Guitar, Slide, Glockenspiel, Mandolin, Vocals) and Laurie (Banjo, Guitar, vocals, beatboxing, bass, looping, ocarina, djembe) I was tempted by the sweet sibling harmonies into downloading their début album in full as part of this month’s eMusic quota, check out a trio of tracks from the album using the widget below.

Suitably impressed with the song and performance and picked up Jedd’s latest EP from eMusic earlier this week.
