Back Track: From The Vaults

With music critics devoting much of their attention to new developments--new music, new albums, new gossip and drama--it's easy to forget the artists who once occupied our attention even just a few years ago. Ever so often, it's fun to look back on the bands that still matter though we've filed them away for safe keeping. Today, take a trip down memory lane with Grandaddy. The Modesto, Calif. experimental folk/rock/pysch band split up in 2006 shortly after the release of their final album, Just Like The Fambly Cat. Frontman Jason Lytle is working on a solo project with a record coming out in 2009. Until then, enjoy this gem off Sophtware Slump:
