Skinny McGee and the Handshakes
Chattanooga Trigger Man 12" blue vinyl
(Shawn A. Gravitt)
"We had the pleasure of doing this album from start to finish, on our own," reads their Bandcamp page declaration. Indeed, without the weighty thumbs of spreadsheet-scrutinizing label bosses, Skinny McGee (upright, cracker-barrel vocals) and Chris Bell (guitar and marvelously swelling harmonica) dig way down and come up with leisurely, affable dirt-road ramblings that move home-folks' happy feet. (Additional guitarman Marcus Brixa sits in for "I'll Ramble On.")
"We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it," concludes the declaration. Done and done.
Recommended: "Bottom Land Blues," "Chattanooga Trigger Man," "Ballad of the Silver Meteor," "I'll Ramble On," "Caffeine and Cocaine," "Yellow Cadillac," "Sugarcane Blues"
