[from Austin, TX] not as dirty ("music
for the unwashed and well-read” as they say) as I
remembered them – darling curly haired middle-aged member still smoked on stage
but nobody else did – think the vision I have of them all living together in a
trailer in a incessant jam session is just that (a vision), easy to pick out
the member who sang on the cover of Gin and Juice with his highish irreverent
voice, had them classified in my head as hard bluegrass but totally inaccurate,
covered a huge range of styles on a generally “rootsy” (as they said)
foundation, started off with strong twinges of Cajun but depending on who sang
veered toward British invasion, Southern rock, etc. etc., they’re a more
countrified Grateful Dead, you should know that guitars, mandolins, bass,
accordions, keyboards, drums, fiddles, banjos, lap steels are employed (Photo courtesy of http://www.thegourds.com/new/the-band/)
