Challenging the notion of what "Nashville" and "country" mean, the ever changing cast of Lambchop has turned out brilliant album after brilliant album over the last dozen years. This release is a collection of A-sides, B-sides, compilation tracks, and unreleased songs in a chronological compendium of a golden age in their career. Spanning 1994 to 1999, Decline centers around the weather worn and haunting voice of Kurt Wagner, the one constant in a band that numbers as many as twenty and as few as four, depending on the time or place.
