An aside to transplanted Southerners...

If you're into cheatin' honky tonk music, there's a new star on the horizon: Buttercup, a Virginia band featuring two sisters with "iffy" reputations and, apparently, a passing acquaintance with 1800 tequila.

They offer an original sound, citing influences ranging from George Jones to Dean Martin to Mickey Spillane. In their album, "Evil for You," sisters Cassandra Cossitt and Octavia Carpin live up to the billing of honest music. For Metro Detroit's thousands of transplanted Southerners, chalk up Buttercup as a cure for that fake country music flowing out of Nashville.

Here for Buttercup.
