Episode 16 Album: Forever Artist: Vandoliers CB&OT ONCE AGAIN met up prior to a Lucero show but this time with some of our best friends Danielle & Sarah.

Anytime you get together with your friends things just get... well you know... taking shots, playing music that had to be edited out

This album is a very deep and dark record for the band due to the time in Ben's

Episode 14 Album: In The Throes Artist: John Moreland CB&OT met up after the Bears vs Packers game to talk about John Moorland. Nick was not happy after that game but Samy and Dani were very happy.

Album- Dispatch to 16th Ave Artist: Muscadine Bloodline CT&OB dug into this album and we all agreed that we LOVED the way this album transitioned from song to song and made you feel like you were at a concert!
