Album Notes

The name Roadside Attraction reflects
- the carnival of sounds that is Poor Man's Whiskey
- that this music instantly captures your curiosity
- that PMW is very much a visual spectacle

All of the songs on Roadside Attraction have been performed and road-tested live in 2005. Here's what a fan wrote in after seeing Poor Man's Whiskey supporting John Mayer Trio and Phil Lesh and Friends on New Years Eve 2005 in San Francisco at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium:

"Poor Man's Whiskey hit the spot on New Years Eve. Hysterical bluegrass that tickled my funny bone and just made me want to dance. Thanks so much for making my New Year's a blast. You guys are to music what the Flying Karamazov Brothers are to juggling. Not sure what that means either, but I'm pretty certain it is a compliment, or the closest I can come to delivering one."

Roadside Attraction is the 3rd full length album from Poor Man's Whiskey. You can also find the 2nd album, Train to California on CD Baby. The first album, Hunnerd Proof, is out of print.

Poor Man's Whiskey plays Californicana, a blend of acoustic music shaken with rock-n-roll attitude. Through fermentation and distillation, they've crafted an original and modern American music that inspires you to shake off the days burdens, dance, shout and laugh.

Though the exact location of their hideout is unknown, local legends place it somewhere in the backwoods of the Northern California wine country, between Pinot vines and a moonshine still, well protected by small arms.
