Cowboys In Sweden (Parasol). Review by Terry Eagan.
JACK & THE BEANSTALK COWBOYS IN SWEDEN Parasol It certainly sounds like someone paid attention to all those Beatles and Big Star albums.

... less desperate than that disc, Veneer is nothing short of an indie troubadour's dream album. Gonzalez was borne of Argentinean parents and raised in Sweden.
