The Continental Drifters

Omnivore collects two discs' worth of music from the Los Angeles-to-New-Orleans musical collective The Continental Drifters, whose roster has included Vicki Peterson (Bangles), Susan Cowsill (The Cowsills), Peter Holsapple (The dBs, R.E.M.), and many more--including the only member who has been with them from the beginning, Mark Walton (Giant Sand, The Dream Syndicate).  This definitive anthology presents, per the label, rarities and previously unreleased music which add up to an "inspiring blend of both original and seminal cover songs with a southern fried blue-eyed soul approach that couldn't be beat."
