"Opening Trio Slim
Pickens (Jacob Landry, Slim Nelson and Annie Ford), playing
guitar, bass tank and fiddle, respectively, chose warm, Dust Bowl ballads, and
put me in the mind of the Carter Family. They even dressed the part;
Ford's drop-waisted 30s-style dress and matching hat reminded me that
sometimes costuming counts. Their version of the traditional "Make Me
a Pallet on the Floor" is among the best tracks on Shelter."
