THE SOUTHERN SURREAL

Vinyl LP pressing. 2015 release from the infamous, explosive Southern wrecking crew. Their first release in five years, the album lands on the band's 20th anniversary and is their Alternative Tentacles debut. The Legendary Shack Shakers' incendiary interpretations of the blues, punk, rock and country are all-at-once irreverent, revisionist, dangerous and fun. Built upon a haunting, Southern Gothic theme, The Southern Surreal is a 15 track set featuring regular band members Colonel JD Wilkes (vocals, harmonica, banjo), Rod Hamdallah (electric guitar), Mark Robertson (electric and upright bass) and Brett Whitacre (drums), with guest appearances by actor/musician and longtime Shack Shakers fan Billy Bob Thornton, and Jesus Lizard guitarist Duane Denison.
