Cletis and his City Cousins

About Me

Remember those family road trips when you would be fighting with your brother in the back seat and your dad would threaten to "come back there?" And you called him on it? And he did "come back there?" And he beat the living dog shit out of you? Well, Cletis and his City Cousins is kinda like that, only better because they don't leave you lying in a ditch somewhere in the Virginia backroads. (Real cool, dad.)

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/25/2006
Band Members: Cousin Cletis Reid - acoustic guitar and vocals; Cousin Manny Stringfingers - City Cousin Telecaster and Flying V; Cousin Rusty Hammers - Drums
Influences: Jerry Reed, Del Reeves, and Kiss.
Sounds Like: "Cletis and company did their usual country-fried tunes about truckin' and wimmin', including a hilarious tune about sending your wife to the landlord to trade certain favors for rent. Only a dozen or so fans were smart enough to get there early to enjoy it and the set was as close to a Gregory Dean Smalley moment as Bubba had to offer." -Fred Noble, degeneratepress.com
Type of Label: Major
