Sturgill Simpson’s Sunday Valley played some outlawbillygrass chicken pickin’ cowpunk in a barn somewhere in Nashville (2011). Simpson has multiple Grammy Awards and nominations, is an actor, and occasionally performs as his alter-ego Johnny Blue Skies.

Th’ Legendary Shack Shakers is a hellbilly punk band from Murray, Kentucky, fronted by banjo picker and harp wrangler J.D. Wilkes. Wilkes has a solo career as well, that includes music, visual art and illustration; he’s also a novelist, amateur filmmaker, and is a genuine Kentucky Colonel.

Lotsa news this week, some good, some bad, some too absurd to worry about, and tomorrow is Porch Time. I’ll have everything in order by whenever, so show up at the usual time and you can see for yourselves.

LA Priest (aka Sam Dust, aka Sam Eastgate) found some electrical outlets in the Mexican jungle to play Carribean techno space lounge music.

The Growlers had some fun with a dark subject.

Enough of that oddness. Time for some jaw-dropping high speed electric bluegrass hollerin’ cowpunk, and Sunday Valley fits the bill. The band is defunct, but Sturgill Simpson is still kicking it… somewhere.

Well looky here. It’s the weekend again, so have a great one and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.
