Details:
Gather around, Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a product that is guaranteed to cure scurvy, rickets, dyspepsia, and general lack of gumption. It is the debut CD by Uncle Cuckleburr''s Champion Possum Carvers (UCCPC for short) that goes by the title of "The Ozark Sheiks." These boys are the finest authentic old-timey string band to bless these hills since the 78 rpm hey-day of the 1920s and ''30s. Just one listen to this fine release and you''ll be ready to shoot your distant cousin over a fence-line dispute!
Do you sometimes get tired of Alison Krauss whispering her way through pop songs disguised as bluegrass? Do you sometimes wish the endless bastion of precise polite pickers that claim to carry our American musical traditions would just let go and start screaming like wild banshees at a Saturday night barn dance? Then "Ozark Sheiks" may be the CD for you.
Uncle Cuckleburr''s Champion Possum Carvers play Old-Time music in the spirit of their originators. Perhaps due to their history in punk, or perhaps due to their naturally wily nature, the Possum Carvers present historical music and their own historical-inspired original songs with a degree of energy and go-for-the-throat intesity that makes you understand the sweat and the blood and the spit that should always go into this kind of music. "Ozark Sheiks" is the first album from the Possum Carvers (UCCPC for short) and is a fine 20-song introduction to what this duo is all about. Featuring the talents of Blaine Whisenhunt and Adam Posnak, these fellows will make you dance, laugh, drink, fight, cry and crow.
"Take a really good frailing banjo, a voice that sounds a hundred years old, kazoo, and add vitality, vim, vigor, and spontaneous unpretentious uproar." - Tradition Magazine / Bob Everhart, President National Traditional Country Music Association
