Biography

For this volume, we beat the national bushes to turn out cuts from upstarts coast to coast. Returning Chicago artists include Moonshine Willy, the Waco Brothers, The Riptones, and Robbie Fulks.

Expanding our revolutionary bases to the far reaches of the USA are artists from Texas (Old 97's, The Cartwrights, Cornell Hurd), Missouri (Bottle Rockets, The Starkweathers, Eleanor Roosevelt), Arizona (Grievous Angels, The Inbreds), California (Tarnation, Richard Buckner), Detroit (The Volebeats), NYC (World Famous Blue Jays), and Nashville (Gwil Owen). We put them all together on one disc to create an powerhouse line-up to be reckoned with--the musical equivalent of Murderer's Row. It's time, brothers and sisters, to step up to the plate. Line-dancing fans should be aware of the high, inside fastball. More scary cover art from Jon Langford.
