Well I fucking love this album (self-titled). Not alot more I want to say on the matter.
Though they did gig at SXSW earlier this year and had guest appearance on Treme. So they are clearly gaining traction.

Listening to: Hurray For The Riff Raff
If folk
music sounds new, fresh, off –beat and like nothing you’ve ever heard before
then it’s probably being done wrong. Hurray For The Riff is led by Alynda Lee
Segarra, the songs are old and familiar and the whole album would be difficult to place
in a specific time.
The band and
the leading lady are a rag – tag bunch, and in true Americana style, so are the
influences; the rich tapestry of the southern United States with jazz and folk
and vaudeville and blues all making an appearance.
It’s a terrific album. Highly
recommended.
