About Me |
|
| They say that even cowboys get the blues and after just a cursory listen of 'Nobody's Blues', the new release by local cowpunk Cole Mitchell and his band the Curs, it is obvious that his musical roots run deep. "I was born in Billy the Kid country and raised in Hank Williams country," Mitchell states in his current biography. Filled with road weary tales of whiskey-soaked nights, deals gone bad, clocking time in a slaughterhouse and "breathing fire and drinking gasoline," Mitchell's songs sweat bullets of genuine American tears laced with grit and asphalt. It's a quality that can only come from experiencing long days of work, wild nights of play and occasional, but all too inevitable, bouts of heartbreak. Some call it "piss and vinegar," which is a much more colorful description than Americana. Either way, 'Nobody's Blues' should be on everyone's playlist.
