Buy Hobo's Codebook

“...after a seven-year hiatus, the band returned with a new line-up (vocalist and guitarist Chris Biester, bassist Bill Stamp, drummer Chris "Nazz" Dillon, fiddler Willy Perkins, guitarist Mike McGovern), a new album, Hobo's Codebook (Anyway, 2003), and a sound that is solidly anchored to folk music, from the rousing singalong of "The Mission" to the cajun square dance of "Wedding Coat", from the slavic dance of "The Voodoo Crawl" (a la Virgin Prunes) to the majestic, martial ballad "Johnny Come Lately." But this is more than just an American version of the Pogues and the Mekons: the visceral, relentless bacchanal of The Serpent, and the anthemic, Springsteen-ian rock'n'roll of "Comin' Around" are blue-collar rock at its best."
