While much of what has been written about this extraordinary band has concentrated on the religious fervour of singer/songwriter David Eugene Edwards, Sixteen Horsepower's equally passionate zeal for the music that inspires them has been overlooked. This extraordinary band see themselves as heirs to two apparently contrary, but--Sixteen Horsepower believe--spiritually akin lineages: old-school American folk and New Wave punk rock. On their previous albums, they've started acknowledging some of these influences, covering Bob Dylan's "'Cept You", Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising" and Gun Club's "Fire Spirit", among others. Folklore is also, in part, a work of homage, containing typically ferocious readings of Hank Williams' "Alone and Forsaken" and the Carter Family's "Single Girl", as well as a selection of traditional songs--all of which sound here like they've always been Sixteen Horsepower songs. Folklore also contains four new Sixteen Horsepower originals, which demonstrate that their capacity for making banjos and violins sound like the onset of the apocalypse remains undimmed. --Andrew MuellerMPN: GRCD560Type: Alt-Country & AmericanaArtist: Sixteen HorsepowerCountry/Region of Manufacture: PortugalRelease Year: 2002 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
