Search - Hayman Watkins Trout & Lee :: Hayman Watkins Trout & Lee

2008 album from this British Bluegrass quartet featuring Darron Hayman from Hefner and Daver Tattersall of The Wave Pictures. For Fans Of: Hefner, The Wave Pictures, Alan Lomax, Leadbelly, Townes Van Zandt. 14 dynamite tracks including covers of songs by Townes Van Zandt and The Mountain Goats along with seven band originals. Hayman, Watkins, Trout and Lee are a Country, Bluegrass band from East London. They don't sing in American accents and their songs feature tube trains, Bethnal Green, sick days, flat lemonade and unmade beds. HWT&L perform weary singalongs; fragile and flawed ballads that wipe a tear and force you to smile. In the spirit of Big Pink, the Basement Tapes and the first McCartney album, it was decided to record the album in two days at Darren's house, with a bunch of battered microphones, a fresh pot of tea, and some fruitcake.
