v476 - Legendary Shack Shakers - "The Southern Surreal"

The Southern Surreal is the Legendary Shack Shakers first release in five years, and lands on the bands 20th anniversary, and is their Alternative Tentacles debut! The Southern Surreal also features guest appearances by actor/musician and long time Shack Shakers fan, Billy Bob Thornton, and Jesus Lizard guitarist Duane Denison. With The Southern Surreal, the Shack Shakers explode the Southern Gothic concept, reaching so deep into the forbidden roots of Southern culture that the rich mud they bring forth is almost unrecognizable.Its the kind of album that could only have sprung from the mind of frontman/mad genius JD Wilkes, a relentlessly curious Southern renaissance man who is just as comfortable shredding the shit out of a packed house full of sweaty fans as he is settling into a late-night jam with an elder mountain fiddler.The Southern Surreal marks a return to the Legendary Shack Shakers core lineup of bassist Mark Robertson, guitarist Rod Hamdallah, and drummer Brett Whitacre.
