Song:  Survey the Situation
Artist:  The Brothers Creeggan
Album/Year:  Trunks/2000
Genre:  Acoustic/folk

This is a terrific song by Andrew and Jim Creeggan, of Barenaked Ladies fame. 
 Their band, The Brothers Creeggan, was formed as a side project originally.  
I really love their cool, smooth, folky sound!  More songs to come!
