Synopsis
Product Description Shotgun Party's self-titled release steps into the swing-trio wake, as if the Hot Club of Cowtown rear-ended the Damnations. Slap-bass man Christopher Crepps most recently thumped for the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, but it's the divine teaming of fiddler Katy Rose Cox (ex-Uncle Fucker) and singer/guitarist/composer Jenny Parrott that makes this roots-rock outfit crackle. Parrott reveals a marvelous feel for back-porch poetry in her lyrics; with good-humor titles like ;Haunted House Bear;Devil Town,& Pickled Eggs &; they'll appeal to Southern Culture on the Skids fans. -Margaret Moser AUSTIN CHRONICLE 7/31/08 Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsYou've probably never heard anything like this M. Herrera | Malta, NY | 07/20/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "This band is amazing! I don't usually like Western swing, but their sound is absolutely unique (really more a melding of Western swing and alternative music). Their lyrics are funny and unexpected (e.g., Haunted House Bear: "...and Mama sang us grizzly tunes, and I was carried by the throat") and the tunes are infectious. My sister gave me the CD after seeing them at a small yard concert in San Francisco, and I was hooked in the middle of the first song, "Gladiola." The tunes make you happy, and you'll be singing them all day. Check out their webpage on myspace to learn a little bit about them. (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=62577255) I only wish they had more albums available, but this is their first. I hope they get better known soon because I want to hear more from them and can't afford to jet out West to hear them (they're from Austin), so let's hope they come up with more CDs soon."
