Sounds Like: The Hearts' patented Rock-A-Bayou Hillbilly style can be likened to a Southern Gothic collision of the rural and the urban; the electrified string band sounds of Luke Thompson, Hunter Watts and Hollis Albin blending with the Cajun back beat of the Southern Serenaders, the underground rock 'n' roll of Ron Haydock, the humor of Brother Dave Gardner and the darkness of Lonesome Rhodes.
