about
British-born Muleskinner Jones is as much influenced by the experimental rock of The Fall, The Residents, Captain Beefheart and The Butthole Surfers as he is by traditional Country acts such as Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Doc Boggs and the Harry Smith Anthologies. People get killed in these songs. Lots of them. And those that don't tend to get drunk and fall over. This off-the-wall, visceral avant-country tends to divide critical opinion. You'll have to make up your own mind. "With his blend of country twang, lolloping boogie and Beefheartian astringency Muleskinner Jones may be the British Johnny Dowd." [The Independent] "Sci-fi B movies soundtracked by gonzo country. Recommended. ****" [Q] "Raw, visceral, brooding and quite unique..." [Maverick] "My ears are too delicate for this monotone dirge. 3/10" [americana.co.uk] User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
