Hangin' Crows
The Stillhouse Poets
June 2015
The Stillhouse Poets are a roots duo from Regina. Their influences are drawn deep from the musical well waters of the Mississippi Delta and the Appalachian Mountains. With songs about blood & dusty bibles, black crows & barbed wire, there’s a “prairie gothic” theme that runs through the music. The 10 song album is made up of 7 originals and 3 cover songs from the works of Tom Waits, Mississippi Fred McDowell, and Leadbelly. All 10 are given a stripped down treatment; there’s no lipstick or rouge, just foot stompin’ grit. It’s backwoods harmony with a kick drum heart. Produced by: Brent Nielsen. Recorded at: Nielsen’s home studio, Regina. More info: www.stillhousepoets.com
