The non-band of the year is back with their sophomoric effort, “Nothing But Black Hay Left”! Inspired by the lamentations of a fellow partier upon discovering the bong bowl contained only the charred sprigs of what had been a ticket to, as Carlos Castaneda used to say, a separate reality, this title holds a collection of tunes sure to set your boots to sliding, if not staggering, across your own makeshift dance floor (just make sure it’s a floor and not I-35!)!
What better gift for your alt-country fan who wants a little something different in his/her saddlebag this year than this heady brew of faux punkabilly?
Answer: As they say in the Boonies, “Ner’ern”!

As a discriminating consumer of music, you will, I know, agree with the following truism. It is rare indeed to find an artist or ensemble of artists that not only excels in a genre of music, but redefines that musical form.
In the classical realm we may name Schoenberg, in jazz perhaps Coltrane, in rock music Elvis or the Beatles, in Punk the Sex Pistols, in the “post-punk” arena Joy Division or Bauhaus, in traditional country certainly George Jones, Willie Nelson, or more recently the Dixie Chicks as examples of those who have taken their respective oeuvres and remade them in a new and exciting image (or sound in this case).
In the arena of Americana, that aural offspring of rock and roll and country music that first sprang from its roots some thirty+ years ago to dominate a nation hungry for its plain-spoken ideals of smoking marijuana, drinking Wild Turkey and engaging in backwoods parties late into the wee hours of any given evening, we may ask plaintively who will come forward and give us a new taste of this essential music?
The answer is here.
A group of extraordinary musicians have come together to form what will no doubt be a history making gathering and they have taken a name that will live in musical history for decades to come. That name, that band, that group of musical innovators are:
The GilmerMetcalves!
So roundup your pards and get this little dogie along into your CD player! A truly boot scootin', bum scattershootin' musical adventure awaits!
