Moonshine Willy Pecadores

BS 005 1995
CD$5.95BUY
DigitalAmazoniTunes

Debut CD from Chicago's very own well-traveled road dogs. Pecadores, which is Spanish for "sinners," harnessed the spirit and energy of their boisterous live shows and delivered a high speed tour through their unique brand of aggro-hillbilly boogie. It also harkened straight back to the good ol' days when every significant country star was a devout speed freak. Willy speed isn't chemical though, it's manual, as in bows sawing demoniacally across the cat guts, possessed fingers flying up & down fretboards, and slap-back bass and rattle-trap drums tenuously kept it all from spinning into the crowd.

Includes such original roof-rattlers as "18 Wheels," and "Too Tired To Live (Too Lazy To Die)," as well as choice covers of Johnny & June, Conway & Loretta, and Ira & Charlie (Louvin, that is). A must for all your back porch party needs. Co-produced by David Lowery (Camper Van Beethoven, Cracker)

"Frontwoman Kim Docter comes on like a cross between Skeeter Davis and Wanda Jackson." —Minneapolis City Pages
