 Hillbilly Casino

Red, White, and Bruised (Hobolight Records)



A favorite of average working folks, who swarm honky tonk dance floors and throw off real-world cares. Like Hillbilly Casino, they grasp that there are only two kinds of songs - good ones and bad ones. 

"I defy you to find five other bands in the U.S. that can play Hank Sr. back-to-back with Motorhead, back-to-back with Ernest Tubb, back-to-back with Tex Ritter, back-to-back with the Ramones," slap-bassist Geoff Firebaugh once delared.

This 2017 disc is newly available on Spotify. 

Recommended: "She's Got Tricks," "How Do You Think," "Knockin' At Your Door," "Jibber Jabber," "More Blues Than Green, "Dog On A Chain," "Toss Turn and Roll," "Troubles."
