Description
Boxcar Saints -- A slow burning, dark and melodic mayhem. From
a twisted, run-down big-top to the sad whiskey smashed rooms of last chance
losers. Boxcar Saints conjures together the roots of American music with
South-of-the-border longings and desperate gypsy midnight howls. Here's a
quote: "Before you give up on our hobo - let's call him Flea Stick Slim -
maybe you should consider the music of local desert-dramatists the Boxcar
Saints before 'fessing up to the coldness of your heart. Led by the
mescal-growl of Dave Hudson, this gang of scoundrels and rounders reveal
landscapes studded with snakebites and bar fights and girls who mean nothing
but trouble." --Todd Lavoie, SF Bay Guardian Web:
