I may be behind the times here but after hearing the "CB song" on a Gieco commercial I had to find out who it was.

The band is called "The Legedary Shack Shakers", you have to check these guy`s out.The CD I bought is called Cockadoodledon`t. These guy`s are part rockabilly part blugrass, a little country...I`m not sure what you call em.The harmonica in there stuff is bad ass! All I know for sure is that the CB song will be one of Fat Hacks favorites!!

I've seen these guys in Tulsa three times. First time was when they opened for S.C.O.T.S. After the ShackShakers the S.C.O.T.S. seemed flat!

If you get the chance you've got to check 'em out. They'll give you hands down the best show you've ever seen. The lead singer/harmonica player is the wildest little skinny guy. All the mics and amps are vintage shit that sounds like no other. I'm no groupie but damn!

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">You are too a groupie!!!

And Fat Hack, don't ever say you got anybodys "back door" again.

I could almost hear the banjo music....... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Oh, man! I've seen these guys three times now, and they put on one of the best shows I've ever seen. Definitely check them out if you get a chance.

I guess I found a description of the kind of music they do..

The Legendary Shack*Shakers started their hell-for-leather roadshow just over one year ago, but their collective musical experience goes back a bit farther.

Front man "Colonel" J.D. Wilkes began blowing the blues-harp at his boyhood home in Paducah, Kentucky...not far from where future band mates, Mark Robertson and Paulie Simmonz were cutting their teeth on punk rock.

Years later, when the three met in the lawless honky-tonks of Nashville's "Lower Broadway" district, they found their separate styles and interests meshed well together...well enough to become the best Southern Gothic rock&amp;roll amusement you can get for your hard-earned money.

Melding the locomotive rhythm of Appalachian hoedowns with the intensity of Mississippi roadhouse Blues, the band has created a unique, hybrid sound of mostly original material (Delta Punk?). And it is this sound that keeps them in high demand from Europe to New York to the West Coast &amp; all points in between.

Along the way, they bring with them an eye-popping display of authentic sideshow humbuggery, thus lending even more color to their peculiar pageant of vaudevillian exuberance.

They have been called "The best damn band in America" by Hank Williams III...and their new record "Cockadoodledon't" has been called "the best American music being made today" by Jason "and the Scorchers" Ringenberg.

The band routinely tops the lists of Nashville's alt-weekly picks and has been named one of Nashville's Best Live Shows year after year.

Colonel J.D. (whose antics have drawn comparisons to David Byrne, Iggy Pop and Hasil Adkins) was also voted Nashville's "Best Front Man" by the Nashville SCENE.

But don't take their word for it. Find out for yourself by having the Legendary Shack*Shakers play YOUR next get-together!

I found this on thier web site www.cockadoodledont.com (http://www.cockadoodledont.com)

They also have a couple samples of thier music on the site.

I guess your doing something in the rockabilly world if Hank III calls ya the best damn band in America!!
