Jimbo Mathus (Squirrel Nut Zippers), The Muddy Roses
$15
Jimbo Mathus has blazed a singular path as a singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer and shaman for 40 years, recording and releasing more than 300 songs that are a testament to his hoodoo craftsmanship and to the sounds, sights and spirits of his inspirations in the deep South. His new album, Incinerator, via Mississippi’s Big Legal Mess Records, is the epitome of that art — an incendiary reflection of his world in music.
Mathus describes the 11 songs on Incinerator as “a huge tapestry of my experiences, hard work and dedication to living a creative life. I really took stock of what I do and why I do it … why I weave stories and dreams and visions I have into songs. And I tried to squeeze every bit of meaning out of every note and every word I wrote and recorded. It’s impossible to separate this album from me. This is who I am.”
Featuring Matt Patton, bassist of Drive By Truckers
The Muddy Roses’s sound is a beautiful balance of grit and grace that’s been captivating audiences around the San Francisco Bay.
The rich, velvety soul of vocal bombshell Liz Lewis (West Virginia) and the band, led by guitarist and songwriter John LoGiudici, infuse destined-to-be-classic country and Americana originals with elements of blues, bluegrass, gospel, and jam to create a unique and dynamic sound. Fiddle player Diana Greenberg and banjoist/pedal steel master Andrew Waegel launch sonic trips to the front porch and the honky-tonk bar, while veteran Bay Area musicians Rob MacCloskey on bass and Rob Davis on drums keep the train running.
