Aw Cmon is a 2004 album by Lambchop. It was recorded and released at the same time as No You Cmon , and both were released together as a double album pack as well as individually. Lambchop's record label, Merge Records, report that the group saw these two releases as separate entities, while not dramatically different in style, serving as a sort of conceptual call and response to one another.
