This is Th’ Legendary Shack Shakers playing “Old Spur Line,” which is found on their 2007 album, Swampblood. It’s been a good long time since I’ve enjoyed some new psychobilly, and here is some. Much like Heavy Trash, I think that Th’ Legendary Shack Shakers aren’t really psychobilly, they are just very rough rockabilly. They also play some extremely raw-sounding alternative folk and blues sounding songs. There are banjos, jugs, mouth harps, and a lot of weird and creepy distortion.
I got this album just yesterday from a local record store, where a helpful gentleman with a chopstick-like nose piercing had them playing on the stereo. I enjoy this album a lot, but I wish I could remember which of their records he had on. I would love to get my hands on it.
If the American tradition of music is your thing, I highly recommend this band. They mix and match the best parts of American genres into wonderful songs that feel old and new at the same time.
Sincerely,
Reverend Harris
