Since 1994, the band has been combining their Nashville roots, laden with lap steels and banjos, with a more experimental exploration of the boundaries of rock, and their star still shines bright for both the clan of purists who collect their every bootleg and the thousands of Rolling Stone readers who just wanted to see what all the fuss was about...
