I would like to share with you a few of my observations:
1. Eddie's Attic is a phenomenal place to see a show. It is a listening room, so no loud talking, smoking, etc. They do have a patio designed for that. The food is awesome, the service is great, and the acoustics are fantastic. If you find yourself in Atlanta, go to Eddie's to hear a show, and you will not be disappointed.

2. The opening band for Little Country Giants was Hoots & Hellmouth from Philadelphia. The quartet of grungy, hairy, male troubadours put on an inspired acoustic performance. The last number was a gospel tune sung a cappella with the exception of a solo acoustic guitar. Towards the end of the song, they strolled out into the crowd and sang without any amplification. It was a perfect cap for a truly fun show.

3. The Little Country Giants are truly one of those groups of people that just make you feel great to be alive. They are talented and honest artists who provide an intimite environment for their audience so that you feel like you are right there on a journey back to a simpler time and place. If you have not heard them, you MUST purchase Sing Pretty for the People and Breaking Hearts and Living Free. Both are excellent albums that capture the rich, deep sound of the Little Country Giants. BTW, here are the fantastic musicians that make up the Little Country Giants (featuring two sets of spouses):
Cameron Lee Cook (Upright bass & vocals)
Russell Cook (Guitar, mandolin, and vocals)
Joseph Evans (lead guitar)
Julie Evans (backup vocals)
David Long (mandolin)
Andy K (pedal steel guitar)
