Hall's Ark of the Covenant pure Tennessee sourmash, who called Bill Frist a "shithook" and quoted June Carter saying, "I'm a Carter, not a Cash. All my drugs are prescription" when we visited him in his writing shack outside of Nashville in May 2006. And Jesus H. Christ, our former savior being held for ransom by the Xian right.
Sounds Like: Drunken Uncle Carl on vocals, Don Rich on guitar, Sid Viscious on bass, Animal from the Muppet Show on drums. Loose and soulful, dirt road credibility.
