 Knoxville Tennessee's Alternative Country and Western Swing band. Original music, Bob WIlls, rock oriented country 20 years before New Country. Their hard hitting swing beat in the mid-seventies was hard to beat. |

Enjoy an evening
with Bull Rooker, the Faded Princes of Western Swing,
truly ahead of their
time. Revel in the folksy, uncut charm of one of the first bands to mix the
power of rock with western swing 20 years before New Country. Underground
National Archives yielded this stash of Bull Rooker's club tapes live with
all the grit and grime. It is retro-Americana digitally remastered at Radium
Sunset Studio to preserve Long Branch ambiance. With David O’Dell’s high
energy voice on the mic, lively swing and unruly country got crossed up with
rock techniques and loads of improvisation from the talented guitarist David
Young. Here the soulful, heartfelt music is reborn, as well as cat calls,
hooting, caterwauling, whoops of rebellious joy, and those long lost echoes
from our faded and distant star. Players: Lead Guitar\Vocals; David “Yole Gibson” Young Lead Singer\Steel\Guitar; Dave O'Dell Bass; Charles Manneschmidt, Greg Johnson Fiddles; Charlie Setlow, Tanya Dennis \ Harp; “Bukka”Billy York, Drums; Michael “Backbone” Turner Recording; Ross Uchida, Charley “Coleslaw” Whaley, Glen Turner, and “Wally.” Special Thanks to Jerry Britt. |
