Search - Sarah Guthrie and the Athens County Ruffians :: Songs From the Dam Farm

"It rocks" said Gail Valentine, one of the Lunabelles who back up the intrepid Michael Hurley. It has a little something for everyone - goofy humor, a searingly honest outlook on life and love, scatalogical references, and songs about death. All from an Appalachian female point of view. If you've ever wondered if folk music could really still sound like plain folks were making it - this is the CD for you. The country songs harken back to a simpler day, when lyrics were more than cutesy cliches, and guitar licks had taste and finesse. The old-timey numbers rival the best of the "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack. Take it home and get ready to laugh, cry and slap your knee. Then you'll be ready for your first banjo lesson.
