OUR FAVORITE BAND,America's favorite, obscure, country band! Untraceable by the country-scenti until 2002, when chestnut-sniffing groundhog and obscurantist, mp3 blogger, Scott Soriano,atop his blog, Crud Crud, found an ugly little e.p. in a thrift store, fell in love and immediately pronounced his discovery, 'The Perfect American DIY 7",' 25 years after its release.
Now a collectors item sought for its found/outsider status-- touchstone and vinyl Grail"Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings," fell in line just five years later.
This druggy and videohomage to the South and its rarely documented mixology of sacred, secular and country/gospel music is a YouTube exclusive videoview of the soon to be released full-length original DVD
featuring
Director Eric Davies, of "Looking For Cormac," is the same PBS wunderkind who brought you 'The Kennedy Assassination: Beyond Conspiracy' .
See the only live footage ever captured of this reclusive clan.[E. Davies, trapped in a spiderweb, falls under the spellonce again of the Recluse, SEEMING to delight in ITS TOXIC INITIATION TO the South's secretive antiheroes and wasted storytellers.]
Writhe with snake handlers and choke down their poisonous, deadly, hillbilly-pact in a Bayou of bloated ecstasy as they prod the edge of Man's law--once theirs.
from the terrible ghost of neglect in this disturbing portrait of a singer mumbling words to his song like Syd Barret from a Bayou Bloat.This is your ticket to the world of "The Perfect American":Perfectly undiscovered;Perfectly presented;Perfectly powerful--and now...PERFECTLY UNFORGETTABLE!
