Album Notes

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN of all tastes and sizes!
Rerum Novarum Recordings presents a new Country-billy experience for most ages, including you and yours!
From the muggy depths of Louisiana come THE HOWDIES (a.k.a. The HowDoYouDos), toting their particular brand of lard-and-gristle-fried blister-stomp western swing, and many othersuch hyphenated ventures!
No hyphen is needed to tell you that The Howdies' first full-length record, Made With Pure Lightning, rivals their completely raucous live show. Stand up bass, rip-roaring guitar, thumptastic percussion and screaming harmonica combine with three-part harmonies to bolster a thick bunch of songs about drinking,
deadly hammers, drinking, sin, redemption and drinking. Ready for a pleasant assault on any folk fest's sensibilities or for teaching a lesson in grit at the next punk house show they encounter,
The Howdies come full prepared for whatever is thrown at them and fully intend to throw back."
