PW LONG.... What can you really say about one of the most prolific yet under appreciated musicians of all time. GOD BLESS THE DRUNKARDS DOG is an absolutely outstanding record! Once again this true American treasure of an artist delivers what we all long for...A cry for help. If you aren't familiar with this artist I don't know what to tell you except listen to anything and everything you can get your hands on and you too will be a fan. From his bands WIG and MULE to PW LONG'S REELFOOT there is a tremendous body of work that has (for reasons that baffle the imagination) gone relatively unnoticed. His bluesy, hillbilly slash Americana sound is the stuff that launched a great deal of what exists of the Alt-Country movement. But PW is no country performer his music is based in rock. Yet the way he delivers his unique sound reflects so much more. Country, Blues, Rock, and Americana all make their appearances in his music. Still his sound is really quite indescribable and very unique. GOD BLESS THE DRUNKARDS DOG is a return to classic PW style. Songs about heart breaks, drugs, and drinking find a place on this record as well as a glimpse into the heart of a troubled man who has fallen victim to every lust this world has to offer and yet has somehow found solace once again in his greatest love of all, Music. The lyrics are sweet poetic justice to the fallen and downtrodden amongst us. CRAZY TONIGHThttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2KouFf2QiI is like a reservoir dogs sountrack song with rolling drums, methodical guitars and lyrics that seem a little scary to say the least. NOGALAS ROSE is my favorite song on this record with lyrics that boast that "Pain ain't nothin but a telegram from hell"... Epic songs from an epic musician...http://www.southern.net/southern/band/PWLON/sounds/BDX01-10_Nogales_Rose.mp3
