In these suburbs of Babylon, now more than ever, we need folk music for folks who are pissed. The Waco Brothers play songs about the folks getting shit on and songs about the system that’s doing the shitting. They can be political, they can be personal, and sometimes there is no difference. Their shout-along manifestos and strident tomfoolery make for a potent elixir in times when reason and humor are at odds. With a hardy cackle and righteous rant, they’re down for the siege, as long as there’s enough beer to make it to last call.
