MCGUFFEY LANE HITS AMAZON
A couple recent live/from the vault releases by McGuffey Lane are doing quite well on Amazon's emerging country artists best sellers:
1. Songs of the First Album
3. Greatest Hits Live and More
The irony is that the band and most of the tunes (all?) are 20 years old - give or take a few. Hmm, just how long does "emerging" take at Amazon?
