Review for Little Country Giants:

Little Country Giants are one of the most profoundly genuine Americana groups in the country. This can be said about a lot of traditional style musicians but the brilliant melodic songwriting and vocals of Cameron Federal Cook and husband Russel Cook push them into the realm of genius on many levels. 

One of the earlier discoveries and offerings of the ArtFRONT concert series, The Little Country Giants still boast the largest attended show we have produced at Barking Legs, outdoing even Kaki King in attendance. This return performance comes after a long wait while the family took the opportunity to raise babies, teach school and continue to distill their familial harmonies and song crafting expertise. 

Natives of Rome and now Ranger Ga., there is no influence they have had to reach outside the southern hills for, no reason whatsoever to struggle to find an outside inspiration. Their talent is so natural that it brings warm chills to the listener as they are absorbed completely into the true purpose of music whenever the Little Country Giants are on a roll either onstage or in the totality of the craftsmanship of their recordings.

Location Of The Delta Queen Is The Problem

The Delta Queen is a magnificent part of history and in many ways I'm pleased she is in town. Having the boat where she is is the problem. The boat blocks the view of and from the prettiest park in our town. The crew take many of the parking spots around the park leaving families to park across Frazier and schlep their kids, strollers and picnics to the park. You don't get fireworks ... (click for more)
