Sounds Like: This video is of the song Wine of Her Lips. The question I get asked most often by people who’ve never heard us is, ‘what kind of music do you play?’ I keep trying to come up with a description. Our business card says, ‘Smells Like Country, Tastes Like Rock-n-Roll, with Creamy Blues in the Middle’. My latest name for it is ‘Texas Gumbo Music’ - Red Dirt Country, Americana, Rock and Blues with a rue of humor.â€
