The History Of Cut Nails In America
They write murder ballads, they write stories of redemption and songs of persecution with haunting biblical overtones. They use the native instrumentation of American music: drums, guitar, lap-steel and upright bass. They draw upon musical traditions of this country from the earliest of country and blues through the birth of rockabilly to the rock and roll of contemporary revivalists. They are not, however, aping musical genres. Somehow they've happened upon a means of expression that draws upon all the unique musical heritage of America.
