The Lonesome Billies - They Broke My Guitar

Useless Bay (2013) http://thelonesomebillies.com/ BIO from their website: The Lonesome Billies shoot from the hip with their own take on a classic outlaw country sound that has been described as “boot stomping, gator hootin, whiskey swilling music”. Four men from the badlands of Hazel Dell who have stuck together from their early days and have developed a bond akin to brotherhood, all while playing unapologetic dark and dusty honky tonk music. Like the outlaw singers and guitar pickers who have come before, these fellas tell stories, playing a mixture of songs both capable of starting a whiskey-fed bar fight or a Texas two step. Forming in early 2010, The Billies quickly began defining the dark world their characters came from.. A desolate gunslinger running from the law; a grizzled mountain man down from the hills and looking for a good time; a man at the end of the road in a broken down pickup truck with nothing but a bottle of booze. They began simultaneously pulling from personal experiences, the imagery of old spaghetti western films, and the sounds of the 70’s outlaw country music movement.
