Anyone who appreciates acapella should check out The Persuasions, 4 guys
who have been together since day 1 (use to be five of them). They have 2
relatively current LPs ("No Frills" being one) on Rounder or Alligator
(dont remember which offhand). Some of my favorites tunes of theirs are
"60 Minute Man", "Women and Drinkin'", "It's All in the Game" and "Gypsy
Woman".

I got a chance to see them in concert several times this year. They are
great! They gear their show to the crowd and surroundings. I saw 2
similar but different shows, one outdoors in fair type atmosphere, the
other inside with a more sedate crowd. Very down-to-earth unpretentious
guys. On the aside, Ken Nordine (Mr. Word Jazz) opened for them. He was
interesting too (and obviously enjoying the Persuasions later in the
audience).
