Product Details

Bloodshot Records built its reputation in the late '90s on artists who couldn't be filed neatly anywhere, and Moonshine Willy fit that label ethos perfectly. Kim Docter's voice carries the kind of lived-in grit that connects old-school country tradition to the DIY punk underground, a combination that found its natural home on Chicago's premier insurgent country imprint alongside labelmates like Alejandro Escovedo and Robbie Fulks.

Bravely forges a blend of hopped-up bluegrass, jangly Camper Van Beethoven-ish grooves, Jeannie C. Riley style singing, and a barely contained enthusiasm for AM rock and new wave. "The band blends singer Kim Docter's lyrics with country-punk and jangly pop as they skillfully navigate the fine line between brutal and honest and what you end up with is music that's as haunting as it is catchy." - NO DEPRESSION
