The Juanita Family & Friends, LIVE! (Live Friday 012)

Emerging at a time when country musicians are more apt to be selling trucks and endorsing the GOP, the Family comes to us with songs that hearken to the days of hard-living musicians who produced heartbreaking music. Plaintive tales of love, lies, and loss that tip a hat to older, traditional country music like Hank Sr., Willie and Loretta. Put together by Lana Rebel from Last of the Juanitas, the lineup includes Johnny (from the same group) on drums and Ben Wildenhaus of Federation X on the piano and lap slide, long time friends James Curley on mandolin, and Dylan Reilly on stand up bass.
