The Stantons

Blue of your eyes disguise the black of your heart

About Me

The Stantons are a low-down, cheating bunch of whiskey hounds. They'll lie, steal, take your wife/husband/coyote, shark you at cards, rustle your sheep and generally make themselves as obstreperous as they can to the general well-being of their surroundings.Fortunately, coming from a musical background an' all, they can write some good tunes to redeem themselves. Rustic songs of murder, gambling, accidents and the vagaries of existence all boil together in a stew with hallucinations, paranoia and a good ol' sense of humour.Come in. You're very welcome. Don't mind the rats.
