Synopsis

Album Description
Two disc (CD/DVD) reissue of the Alt-Rock band's 2000 album including a bonus DVD, which includes a surround sound mix of the album. 16 Horsepower looms large over the entire Alt-Americana musical landscape. Secret South is a cornerstone to this Denver band's legacy, their first indie outing after departing A&M, recorded at Hamilton Glory Lodge outside Blue River, Colorado, in 2000. This album has long been out of print in America and only available on vinyl in a very limited edition in Europe.

16 HP's best record
Canuck Monk | VanCity | 06/08/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

""Secret South", 16 Horsepower's third release, continues to deliver the Gothic Americana/alternative country that has characterized the band's preceding albums. The music packs a ferocious punch of guitar set amidst the ominous lyrics that have become a staple of David Eugene Edwards' songwriting. Lyrics such as "Come an' sing me down/Give my conscious a poundin'/Come an' shake my ground/With the sound of Heaven's houndin'" and "Not gonna join you/In your tower of babble, boy/Tired of that talkin'/I'm sick of that noise" display Edwards' ardent faith in Christianity. The two covers "Wayfaring Stranger" and "Nobody 'Cept You" are also excellent, particularly the latter which was written by Bob Dylan. As with Woven Hand, 16 Horsepower always delivers a brooding, alternative country/rock record with chilling, prophetic words."
