Oh man oh man oh man... Just discovered a supergroup that I am absolutely, totally head-over-heels in love with.
First, some background... I am from the Nashville TN area, born and raised (literally) across the street where Bonnaroo is held these days (and my parents still live there, man their house shakes when the main stage is fired up). And I am exactly the right age to have been around for the first "Nashville Rock 'n' Roll" movement in the 80's.
So, yeah, I am still a major fanboy for Jason & The Scorchers, Webb Wilder, The Royal Court Of China, and the other names in that wave...
So...
There's a Nashville-rock-supergroup that I just discovered...
The Bluefields
Warner Hodges from Jason & The Scorchers
Joe Blanton from the Royal Court of China
Dan Baird from the Georgia Satellites
Brad Pemberton from the Black Crowes / Ryan Adams & The Cardinals
And if you know anything from any of those musicians, I am happy to report that the Bluefields sound *exactly* like what you think those 4 guys would sound like together. Loud, crude, southern hard rock at it's goofiest! What other band would do a love song to an amplifier, and perform it on acoustic instruments? Ha Ha! (Well, half of it, anyway.)
I've had their three CDs on constant rotation since buying them.
