Honky Tonk Hangovers
Here is what Westword Magazine says about The Honky Tonk Hangovers…
Back when guys like Conway Twitty and Johnny Cash were walking the line, so to speak, between country music and rockabilly, little did they know they’d someday have illegitimate sons like the Honky Tonk Hangovers. The group has been burning up bars and roadhouses across Denver for a couple of years now with its sizzling brand of roots music. Country, rock and roll, rockabilly, honky-tonk—whatever you want to call it, the Hangovers’ sound evokes the vintage twang and yodel of hillbilly music. No slick Nashville sophistication. No alt-country irony. Just lots of rustic pedal steel, two-steppin’ rhythms and heartfelt singing about drinking, loving and driving trucks.
