Hambone Wilson & Cornpone McGee

These guys are the best. I highly recommend getting a copy of any of their albums if you can.

I agree, the best old-school blues men around! You can just hear the pain and suffering in every tortured note!


If you feel that you must suffer, then plan your suffering carefully–as you choose your dreams, as you conceive your ancestors.

Cornpone is pretty good but, I find Hambone’s lyrics to be a bit tired!


-Frankie

“Mother Mercy, can your loins bear fruit forever?/Is your fecundity a trammel or a treasure?”
-Bad Religion

Really Frankie? I find them to be very elloquent in a down home sort of way.

Yeah, I know what you mean, Burn. They almost seem inspired. A very earthy, human vibe to their music.
