Much has been said and written about Nixon, the album that broke Nashville's finest little big band into the mainstream in the UK (we walked into the Met bar one night in 2000 and saw Noel Gallagher and Patsy Kensit and people like that, and guess what was playing on the bar's hi-fi? Is that considered mainstream?). It was album of the month  left, right andcentre and album of the year in Uncut,  if we remember it correctly.Maybe not. Still, it's sophisticated  mix of alt-country, white man's soul music, gospel choirs  and thick use of strings and Kurt Wagner's last chance to lay down some falsetto vocals before age, smoking and whiskey caught up with him were a sensation. The Zero 7 remix of Up With People added longevity and weight to a campaign that stretched well into 2001. This re-issue comes with an additional full concert DVD from Lambchop's second London show at the legendary Royal Festival Hall with an added string section. Filmed by a TV company that consequently went bust, we were able to save this gem of a document from the vaults of the insolvency and present it here in its raw original form.
