Holding up their own idiosyncratic mirror to an unsettled and
unsettling 2017, Hayseed Dixie offer up their 15th studio album, a
collection of both original songs and reinterpretations of R&B and
Soul classics. Dance with them as they probe the queries: “Why do we
still believe there is such a thing as ‘race’?” “Are concepts like
‘nations’ and ‘nationality’ really useful to people who lay bricks or
perform kidney stone surgeries?” and “Why does every song always sound
better with a banjo in the mix?” The boys are seeking after the root
core categorical commonality that runs like an eternal golden braid
throughout all of humanity. Then they will buy it a drink!
“The Hayseed’s berserk hedonism is indeed refreshing! ***** (5 Stars)” - The Guardian
“Hayseed Dixie highlights the worth of mountain music to all things rock:
energy, dirt-punk rhythm, careening harmonies and the fundamental right
of all no-good fuck-ups to raise hell come Saturday night.” - Uncut
“Superlative musicians with a deep love and understanding of the dynamics of both
modern rock and ancient hillbilly music” - The Times
“I enjoyed this and . . . on further investigation . . . it’s not good . . . it’s fabulous!” – Brian May, Queen
“This is great! I can’t wait to get the royalty check!” - Gene Simmons, KISS
