Description
Description
Produced by Chance McCoy (Old Crow Medicine Show), Shaving A Dead Man embraces and exuberates in old-time Appalachian folk music. Featuring dark Appalachian fiddle & banjo, Americana gothic drones, and whimsically macabre artwork. The repertoire is heirloom, but newcomers to the old-time genre will hear a hypnotic snap & sway in the silvery plunk of JP's banjo, a spectral, bluesy emotion in McCoy's fiddle, & songs with lyrics that conjure something mythical, mysterious, and sometimes murderous. "This album offers an identifiable element to people who want to access old-time, not necessarily through Smithsonian field recordings. I'm not just some museum-quality reproduction piece. Planting this flag in the mud is saying that I'm still a fringe element, even if I am a traditional roots musician. It makes it identifiable to the next generation of little weird music kids like me." - JP Harris
