Dirty little barroom band

The Fargo Railroad Co. operate out of Sheffield; for what it's worth, and it's pretty well documented around these parts, Sheffield  is one of those cities I find hard not to like. It's neither glamorous nor glitzy, a lot like Fargo Railroad Co., which is precisely why I like it/them. Fargo are touring later in the year - it'd be nice to see them headline a bill; thus far I've only ever see them play second fiddle to, so called, 'bigger' names. 

Their latest album is an absolute belter. Time & Grace¹ (released last year) sees this dirty little barroom band (their words, not mine) come of age. Southern Rock, south Yorkshire style, with a side order of UK Americana makes for a heady mix. Jackie Come On was lifted as a single and sets out clear their intentions from the get go². You'd have to be deaf not to tap yer foot to this.

1 Whose cover, as you can see at the top of the piece, pays homage to Hopper's Nighthawks; yet another reason to love this album.
