Corb Lund - Hair in my Eyes like a Highland Steer
www.corblund.com
Corb Lund is a country throw back…way back…past Dwight Yoakam, past Elvis, to Buck Owen, Bob Wills, and Wilf Carter. Lund’s songs sound like 1940’s traditional country twang tunes as they spin out tall tales about obsessive card playing, crazy Calgary cowgirls , pick-up trucks stuck in the mud, hurtin’ Albertans, Oiler hockey games, and drinking before noon. Each tune is seriously twisted with lines like “good Copenhagen is better than bad cocaine” or “always keep an edge on yr knife son, cuz a good sharp edge is a man’s best hedge against the vague uncertainties of life”. This country music will make those quaffed and squeaky clean Nashville country stars pale and puke which to me is a good thing. If your guilty pleasure is listening to chicken picking guitar and old western music while sippin’ a beer, feet up on the railing of the porch, and pullin’ your dirty ball cap down over your eyes… Corb Lund is your boy.
Corb Lund plays the West End on Sept. 24th.
