Album Notes

Nostalgia is good, especially when it brings with it the romance and imagery of the best American music; and from its gospel inflected, blues inspired melodies to its sentimental and poetically insightful storytelling, Bill Carson's music is nostalgic in all the right ways.

Hailing from Charleston, S. Carolina, Bill Carson and His Checkered Past combine their affinity for early jazz, country, and other traditional American music with a modern indie-rock spirit to produce a thoroughly original and transporting sound. From tough to tender, Carson and his band - a somewhat nebulous group of singers and instrumentalists often including violin, harmonica, or steel guitar - offer sincere and passionate performances of work that belongs to a classic song style and very much lives and breathes today.
