   About Marshall Jones & the Frontier Phrenologists

"Most of these 16 songs from the local string collective’s debut are short, played at a fast but not exactly furious rate; more a lazy, comfortable hoedown among friends than firebranded jams. And though lyrically the primary quartet plunders a variety of countrified problems—among them thievery, loneliness, infidelity and missing fingers—the sunniness of the album persists through the easy and accomplished style."

—Liz Jones, Austin Sound

"It is the Marshall Jones originals—some of which seem one or two centuries old—that make this CD a MUST for any good collection ... This band just oozes real life and real community-based old-fashioned fun."

—Duggan Flanakin, Flanfire

"This is exactly what I am NOT for. I am ALL ABOUT "entertaining" other people, NOT participating in amateur group musical masturbation. You just don't get it, do you? Your attitude is exactly what has fucked up the music business in this town."

—"Pops" Bayless, Shorty Long

Man you guys and gal sounded good the other night. Marshall, you've put together quite a group of musicians.

Also if you don't have plans tonight, some say Leland is playing at Rancho Relaxo with silver pines, weird weeds, and the theater fire. We go on at around 8.

address is 3402 Merrie Lynn. yes.
