Hackensaw Boys - Charismo CD
$14.98
Charismo is the Hackensaw Boys record you've been waiting to hear. The 11-track album feels like the zenith release of the band's 17 years, gathering their diverse life experiences and myriad of roots influences, and crystallizing them into a magnum opus on the Hackensaw way of being. Traditional Appalachian and Delta music lay the groundwork, but it's injected with a heavy dose of the contemporary, good-times-roll kind of spit and vinegar the band has become known for over the years.
Produced by Larry Campbell--who has lent his talents to Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, and countless others--Charismo sees the band reeled in and slightly refined, though still as spirited as ever.
