Maynard and the Musties

About Me

"Frontman Joe Jerry Maynard is one hell of a country songwriter, part David Allan Coe, part A.P. Carter, alternately funny and haunting." and "Smart, very funny, authentic Nashville country music cat with a surprisingly rocking band behind him. If you like Uncle Leon & the Alibis or Amy Allison you’ll love Maynard & the Musties." -Lucid Culture ...The Musties, comprised of Mo, Dennis, and Jim, are also known as the trailer punk trio Mr McGregor. Their rusted-out car on cinderblock comings and goings can be found at mrmcgregortheband.com.
