Wrinkle Neck Mules - Cinco De Mayo Live (at Brown's Island Richmond - 5-5-06)







A recent discovery for me here (thanks to willy99 @ wild safari). I'm really diggin' these guys, they have a great rootsy sound that incorporates equal parts Dillards, Uncle Tupelo, & Neil young (with Crazy Horse of course) with a dash of punk attitude thrown in.....at least that's my take on it. This was recorded at Brown's Island in their home base town of Richmond VA. It's a pretty good recording, and gives you a great overview of the band. Fans of DBT, Slobberbone or Lucero will probably dig this. Songs to check out are "Liza", "Big Dipper", "No Consolation", "Okeechobee", one of the better covers of "Eastbound & Down" I've heard, and the true tale of an explosion of a Wild Turkey factory "17 Miles of Bourbon. So if you like twang, gruff vocals, great instrumention (these guys can flat out play their guitars, mandolins & banjers), and a good story song.....check these guys out.

Forgot to mention....they have a new album coming out this week. Check it out here, should be good.
