The Southern Shame – Careful with That Ax, Irene

In attempting to describe the sound of The Southern Shame I found myself fairly stumped. And then I ran across their description of themselves:

Acoustic violence mixed with rock & roll, self-deprecating humor, a six pack of beer, marital problems and country music.

That sums it up pretty well. There’s a good hybrid mixing of country, rockabilly, rock and a bit of drunken languid swagger to it. “Drinking Music” if you will.
