Album Notes

Sorry this CD is out of stock and out of print. The last few remaining copies are available from Crooked Root Records at www.crookedroot.com/catalog.

The Benders hit the national roots scene like a runaway freight train in 2000 and didn't look back. This debut CD is still as popular with the Benders core constituency as the day it came out. A hard blend of old tyme bluegrass form, brooding lyrics, and virtuoso playing, laced with the strong scent of whiskey.

"The Who of bluegrass!" - Press Republican

"Bending of genres, mixing old-time string-band and bluegrass sounds with their rock background...the playing is fluid, the songs are warmed by substantial melodies, and the singing is a seductive focal point..." - No Depression

"Anything is bound to happen when The Benders take the stage." - Boston Sunday Globe
