Country Lips
A wily eight-piece band from Seattle, Country Lips specialize in a fortified brand of slap-back, honky-tonk, and countrified rock and roll. If you like Merle Haggard, the Flying Burrito Brothers, and some of Skynyrd‰Ûªs jukier numbers, you‰Ûªll want to step on into this. Howling fiddle hooks, lickety-split guitar lines, crowd-revving accordion‰ÛÓall sitting on an easy backbeat. Three voices switch off between harmonies singing about the plight of a quintessential country rebel. Grab your sturdiest dancing boots and be ready for a rowdy ol‰Ûª time with a big dose of twang. It‰Ûªs not the alternative country of today‰Ûªs big charts; this is more the whiskey-fueled honky-tonk of rustic bars with peanut shells littering the floors.
