We stumbled upon these guys quite by accident. About 6 or 7 years ago, we were rummaging around the discount CD bin at Sam’s Club and came across an alternative-country compilation album, alt.country: exposed roots. It was a fine album and contained a cut, a woeful, drunken Appalachian wail, "I like Drinking" by our featured artist. We’ve been lucky enough to see them 3 or 4 times live and their blend of country, bluegrass, Cajun, rock and yes… hip-hop is always a treat. We pretty much consider them the best band you’ve never heard of.
Ladies and Gentlemen, from Austin Texas, The Gourds performing "El Paso" … (not that El Paso).
