Consistency among a band's catalog is a very important thing. Th' Legendary Shack Shakers are not only one of the most consistent of the newer grit-country bands, they are undoubtedly one of the finest. Their music has expanded its horizons over the past few years, rounding out their Americana with alternately copious amounts of swing, darkness, stomp, and straight-up bluesy rock'n'roll. So, pull up your rockin' chair and have a set for a fair piece of homegrown American music.

With Th' Legendary Shack Shakers' newest release Swampblood, the band continues to purvey that classic country blues with a bayou twist for which they've always been so well known in underground country circles… the difference is that they also branch out and grow their sound with alternative forms of alternative country music, all the while maintaining their distinctive sound and superb musical quality.
