While groups like the My Morning Jacket, Kings of Leon, Band of Horses and Midlake have received critical acclaim as great new Americana/roots rock/alt-country/ (insert your favorite label here) bands and have consequently gained national followings, Two Cow Garage has been almost completely ignored, and I can't for the life of me figure out why.

The above scenario plays out all over the world; somewhere, everywhere, there's a band talented enough to attain greatness and acclaim, but is still unable to reach that damn brass ring dangling right before their eyes. How does if affect their lives, this unquantifiable quest for recognition?
