about

Delayed by conflicting schedules and false starts Bare Knuckles finally reassembled in 2005 to record their third album - continuing with the expanded group from Alabama Dust except for the departure of Penny Qubeck and the addition of Jeff Berry on acoustic guitar, Bradley Brock on banjo and April Brockwell singing backing vocals. For the first time the group's primary songwriters, Jake Berry and Wayne Sides, wrote songs specifically for the project rather than drawing from previously written work. The result is a spontaneous, earthy set that draws even more deeply on the foundations of American music. There are tracks here that would not seem out of place on field recordings from the first half of the 20th century. But those roots are also enhanced on tracks like “Prison Bell” and “Hitch Yr Pony” to include electric instruments. Doppelganger Blues is an example of where folk music originates and what it has become. It never departs from the old themes of betrayed lovers, murder ballads and ghostly dirges, and demonstrates how timeless these themes remain.
