Biography

Those Poor Bastards play miserable and primitive old-time gothic country music. Lonesome Wyatt (guitar, vocals) and The Minister (banjo, bass, etc) are both legally certified holiness preachers. If you're looking for slick, overproduced, commercial songs, you'd better cover your delicate little ears. Those Poor Bastards play it raw and they play it mean. Be a pal and support independent anti… Read more in Amazon's Those Poor Bastards Store

5.0 out of 5 stars 1930's death country, April 12, 2007

Werewolf Ghost - See all my reviews

This review is from: Songs of Desperation (Audio CD)

If you're looking for a slick, overproduced recording then you're missing the whole point. These songs are meant to reclaim the true country roots of the 1930's style murder ballads and weepers. Just read the product review and you'll get a good sense of what this album sounds like. You need not be "duped" or "burned." Just listen to the clips. This isn't music meant for the radio or to make you feel good. It's true country that evokes an overwhelming sense of loneliness and misery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lonesome and the Minister are at it again, September 12, 2006

Justin Z. Hellickson "JudgeH" (madison, WI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Songs of Desperation (Audio CD)

This album is an instant Hellbilly classic. Lonesome has no patience for BS and howls his damnation for the unbelievers of gothic country. Not since Johnny Cash has there been a country music personality with the magnetism to change the industry. Stand out tracks include "Hell So Near" "Shadows Fall" "Drunk with Fear" "My Last Dollar" and the somnambulistic masterpiece "Drown in the River." Lonesome evokes bleak faulknerian tragedies with a vicious sense of humor. I highly recommend Those Poor [..] to all discontented Nick Cave fans.

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Songs of Desperation (MP3 Download)

This CD is for everyone who really loves country music. Not pop country. Real county. Hank Williams country. I'm really glad to find there are young artist out there still making country music that bears its soul no matter how ugly it may be. Great artist. Great CD.
