Description
It's always a big event when THE EARL BROTHERS appear, let alone release a brand-spankin' new CD. These guys are on to something that's so primeval, insistent, dark, old-time and thrilling that it just about defies description.I find myself completely mesmerized by their gothic Stanley Brothers sound. It just doesn't get anymore tough-edged and raw than the Earls.
BiG B & HiS SNAKE OiL SAViORS (8 piece western-swing band) will blow your head off...literally - their horn section is simply amazing! Think Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys with a dash of hillbilly boogie.
Smitten by American folk music as a teenager growing up in Tokyo, TOSHiO HiRANO came to this country to visit the land of the music he loved. He went straight to Appalachia after he graduated from college and took locals by surprise, tooling through West Virginia coal mining towns on a bicycle, a mandolin on his back, looking for the ancestral home of bluegrass, long before multiculturalism reached the backwoods.
