Search - Dry Branch Fire Squad :: Just For The Record

There is old-time country music, and there is bluegrass. Between those styles stands the Dry Branch Fire Squad. "I figure we're kind of a missing link," says leader Ron Thomason. "In fact, I look at us as Neanderthals or somethin'." But Dry Branch aren't strictly antiquarians -- they've got a knack for pulling material from just about anywhere and making it their own; one of the keys is the harmonious blend of Thomason's and Suzanne Thomas' voices. Their eighth Rounder album includes traditional gospel, tunes by Carter Stanley, A.P. Carter, John Prine's "Unwed Fathers" and more.
