I was thinking about JD and the shack shakers too when i read this post. You beat me to it.I haven't been in a very long time, but my family used to drive through there at least once a month to visit my grandmother in Kentucky. It's a pretty area that I've always had a fondness for. Pretty town, nice folks.
Interesting tidbit: JD Wilkes from the Legendary Shack Shakers has ties to that place.

I had been meaning to make a pilgrimage to Metropolis since I was a little kid, and I finally got the chance once on tour. Only thing was I came through at 2 am.
