Well, we just released two albums on New Orleans-based indie label Cash Munkey Records titled “Have Mercy” and “Hump Night 55”. Dom from Backsliders is on both of them. He came to visit us in New Orleans while we were recording and we’re proud as hell to have him playing with us. We met him and Rob at Wangaratta Jazz Festival back in 2013 and kinda hit it off. Ended up out int the parking lot swapping lies and tequila until the wee hours. While he was in NOLA with us, we started talking about the idea of touring together because the two bands complement each other on a bill…they cover areas of music that we don’t, and we cover areas of music that they don’t…so everybody who comes to the shows should leave tired and happy!

Old Gray Mule - 2 albums: Sound Like Somethin' Fell Off The House / 40 Nickels For A Bag Of Chips

Old Gray Mule hail from Lockhart Texas ( home of the Caldwell County Courthouse ) which lies just due south of Austin and to the right of San Marcos Texas zip code 78666. Scott H Biram Country. Old Gray Mule is made from scratch out of C.R. Humphrey on guitar/groove w/Joe Falco on drums/groove, one part shiny silver spoonful of Tejas-era ZZ Top, a fat t of stanky dope-era SRV ( ‘tho no strats were used in this recording…thank gawd ), some Hooker boogie and a tight fistfull of R.L. Burnside-style grooves. You throw down some really fine Junior Kimbrough cum Mississippi Gabe Carter open deep reverb sugar rolled loose while rockin’ it tighter than a dirty Left Lane Cruiser VS grrreasy Hillstomp midnite piney woodser. Brilliant stuff recorded totally live. Ten songs in two hours and forty-five minutes with no gawdamn effects or affects or any other BS to get in the way. Just delicious tight hard blue North Mississippi hillcountry grooves by way of Texas boogie. That’s just about all you need ain’t it? Y’all seen that pic on the inside of the ‘Tops Tres Hombres album? They sound like that. Old Gray Mule kick it hard, let it hang, let it breath, and you just keep diggin’ the potlatch. But wait…did I mention OGM is all instrumental? Except for one track which features Mississippi Gabe Carter. But hell, Old Gray Mule’s sound is so taut, so arresting, it took three or four listens before it really dawned on me to think, wait a minute…what the? Cool! This is a fresh olde sound that I cannot wait to blast more of. ~Dick Saunders
