Miss Lana Rebel / All I Need

Wantage Usa

NOW AVAILABLE ON CD!!! Real-deal American country music has its roots in the anti-government encampments of born-disaffected Scots Irish settlers in Appalachian America. Those dark hills and hollers are where folks immigrated in order to get away, to not participate in the sorts of activities that most folks thought they should as part of civilization. Specifically, to keep clear of the "revenuers" and others who wanted to get at their wallets in the name of a federal government. When these folks picked up instruments the stories and poems of loss, freedom, often death and once in a while hope began to flow like corn whiskey from an earthenware jug. In that way, I daresay real country's more punk than punk. As the East grew increasingly crowded, we heard this music coming from places further west, like Texas, Arizona, and California. MISS LANA REBEL continues in that authentic tradition of Spartan, Appalachian/Western country, without the political endorsements (real county's as apolitical as you can get), dumb hooks or the need to participate in a genre fronted by a qualifying adjective ("new", "alt" or otherwise). Get ready to have some stories told to you.
