BR5-49: The Devil & Me
[purchase]
Sometimes the best definition of alt-country is music that sounds so much like classic country that "country radio" won't go near it. Exhibit A: BR5-49. (Is it me, or does this track sound like it was left over from the sessions that produced the Elvis classic "Don't Be Cruel"?)
They got their start at Robert's Western Wear in Nashville, playing for tips. Here they remind us that the reason people risk damnation is that the devil can always find the best parties.
