It's always risky to see a band when they're not promoting a new album. There's always the possibility of finding a lot of new songs thrown into the mix, which can seriously hamper, if not altogether halt, what might have been a really fun show. So it was no surprise that Saturday night's Cuff The Duke show, a sold out affair infront of a well-liquored audience, was lopsided, filled with new songs from the third Cuff The Duke album, which they will soon go into the studio to record. Don't take that to mean that the songs were in any way bad, because they're not. They manage to walk the fine line between being alt-country but not sounding derivative or repetitive. It was just obvious that it was not what the audience wanted.
