Back in the 90's, the best high school teacher I ever had loaned me a copy of a zine that would forever change my life. It was called "ANSWER ME!" and had everything you would want to know about Serial Killers, Suicide, Depravity and of course, El Duce. I was never actually able to find my own copies until they were all reprinted as a huge book a few years ago (minus the Rape issue). The man behind this zine was Jim Goad. I later found out he had recorded a country album back in 1996, which is what you are about to download, right?!? As you might have guessed by the title, the majority of the songs are about Truck Driving across America and the shit that goes along with it. This is some classic, Johnny Cash influenced Country Music. Put the pedal to the metal and listen to some quality, REAL and rare White Trash Cuntry.

Strawfoot - How We Prospered (2009)

2009 - How We Prospered

Strawfoot is a six piece alternative country/Gothic Americana band from St. Louis, Missouri. The name is taken from the Civil War era march cadence of the same name. Their music infuses a variety of influences ranging from bluegrass, southern gospel and the blues, to eastern European folk and alternative rock. Steeped in the rich, dark history of America and beyond Strawfoot play haunting cautionary tales of outlaw scarecrows, wayward preachers, falling pianos and the devil to create the dark sounds of “Candy-Coated Salvation and Eternal Damnation”.

Fronted by the Reverend Marcus, a distant relative of famous author Mark Twain, Strawfoot performs with violin, banjo, harmonica, upright bass, guitar, mandolin, percussion and the occasional accordion. Their high-energy shows regularly include burlesque dancers and a tongue-in-cheek absolution of the audience’s sins.

A part of the burgeoning Gothic Americana scene gaining popularity both in the US and abroad, Strawfoot has performed with Th' Legendary Shack Shakers, The Ditty Bops, Curtis Eller, The Meat Purveyors, Reverend Glasseye, HUMANWINE, Of Montreal, Bobby Bare, Jr., Jason Ringenberg, the Black Diamond Heavies, the Monads, The Redwalls, Tim Barry, The Hackensaw Boys and William Elliott Whitmore among others.

Track Listing:

1. Broken Crown
2. More Of Dread
3. Invisible Man
4. Ramblin' Man
5. Hole
6. Sinner's Lament
7. Seven Ways
8. Independence Day
9. Churchyeard Cough
10. Funeral March
11. Goin' South 

Here's one of my favorite releases of 2009, I've seen it posted up on many other blogs but they were all in 192kbps. This one was ripped by me.  Yes, I purchased the album and re-encoded it all to 320kbps.  I hope all of you enjoy it.  These guys are amazing. I really look forward to them making a pass through the South.  Hopefully a New Orleans/Baton Rouge date will happen in the not so distant future.    Devildowninga and Mr. T should love this, if they haven't heard it already.  As some of you may know, I've been super busy with work and renovating a house for the family so I've been slacking with the posts as of late.  So I'd like to give a big thanks to the Krewe for keeping up with the blog, picking up my slack and posting such good stuff.   Thanks dudes!

Much like the Joey Allcorn bootleg I posted here I found this hiding out as I was going through my music files. Hank III should need no introduction, but if you are not in the know go here . This was recorded by the BBC in 2001 and released as a bootleg not long after Bootleg #2 had surfaced. Pretty good show by the young risin outlaw . Check it out and leave some feedback.

YEEE HAW!

Joey Allcorn - Bootlegged IV (????)

Joey Allcorn - Bootlegged IV

Genre: Real Country
Origin: Columbus, Ga.
Time: 32 min.
File: 29.97 MB

Seems like Joey Allcorn wasn’t born 50 Years Too Late after all. As predicted by this writer and others who have bought the old EP’s, traded bootleg recordings of live shows, and seen him live, this young singer/songwriter from Columbus, Georgia, is starting to experience a great deal of success. The Not-So-Nashville Star is taking the underground country world by storm and he’s just getting started. In case some of you have not heard the name Joey Allcorn, don't wait another minute to become acquainted with this up-and-coming, extremely talented artist. A mere 26 years of age, Allcorn has already been recording and playing real country music for eight years. Yes, real country music. If you are looking for “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” or “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy,” don’t bother showing up for an Allcorn show. In fact, stay far, far away. This is because he delivers the real thing. His sound reflects country’s golden age when steel guitar and fiddle were still the signature sound of the genre, and when the lyrics actually moved its listeners. Allcorn does not sing soccer-mom fluff&ldots; he screams those old school cheatin-heart-honky-tonk-blues right into the skulls of the fans that long for the real deal. Scream is an appropriate verb choice, for he was influenced by Cobain just as much as he was by the country legends. So, even though he dons the cowboy hat and suit garb that Opry stars sported in the 1950s, Allcorn channels his wide variety of musical influences to ensure that his brand of the Drifting Cowboys sound is up-to-date and original.

Track Listing:

1. In Nashville, Tennessee
2. I Just Don't Know
3. Where My Troubles Drowned
4. Ain't It A Shame?
5. Maybe It's Better This Way
6. Fewer Days Ahead
7. In The Land Of Israel
8. Lovesick Blues (live)
9. Move It On Over (live)
10. Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Nirvana)

Here's one that I picked up a quite sometime ago and just found in my files. I don't know the year but I'm guessing not long before "50 Years Too Late" hit the streets. Be sure to check out previous posts of Mr. Allcorns music here and do your ears a favor, enjoy!
