Whompyjawed Black Twig Pickers, The SKU: THRILL1250 Barcode: 0790377125016 12.00 £12.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Thrill Jockey Released Date: 23rd July 2012 Buying Format: 12" EP/Mini Album Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info The Black Twig Pickers take it to the dancefloor on ‘Whompyjawed’, offering long-form, highly rhythmic and deeply layered takes on traditional fiddle and banjo music. Joined by some of the musicians who frequent the Southwest Virginia square dance and flatfooting scene – fiddler Sally Morgan and bassist / guitarists Sam Linkous and Joe Dejarnette – and by a troupe of accomplished feet percussionists, the Twigs work up propulsive and mesmerizing versions of two side-long songs. ‘Merry Mountain Hoedown’ is an old-time rocker with Mike Gangloff and Sally Morgan’s duo fiddles sawing atop a careening bed of pounding feet and furiously locked-in banjo, guitars and bass, while ‘Brushy Fork Of John’s Creek’, with Sally fiddling and Mike banjo-ing, wanders more spectral (but no less ferocious) territory, with Nathan Bowles’ washboard and Isak Howell’s guitar and mouth harp guiding a long and shifting mix of clattering drone. Following two instantly sold out Record Store Day releases, 2011’s Black Twig Pickers / Glenn Jones split LP and this year’s ‘Yellow Cat’ 7”, The Black Twig Pickers return with two new songs in the form of a limited LP. ‘Whompyjawed’ is nearly 25 minutes of old-time rollicking barn dance numbers packaged in a proper 12” jacket with a free download coupon, and limited to only 600 copies worldwide. The Black Twig Pickers keep company with many of America’s underground heavyweights and hold their own with the old-timers too, constantly playing at country fairs, barn dances, and even for the National Council For The Traditional Arts. The Black Twig Pickers have toured extensively in the US and Europe, on their own and also with Jack Rose and Charlie Parr. The Black Twig Pickers’ Mike was a founder of the long running drone / noise / folk unit Pelt (along with Jack Rose). Mike and Nathan still perform as Pelt today, and Isak has previously performed in the group as well. “The spirit of true traditional American music” – No Depression “For The Black Twig Pickers, steeping themselves in history doesn’t dampen the impact of the music – it magnifies it” – Pitchfork “Beautifully hand-rendered” – Uncut Magazine “Some of the best old-timey music around” – Magnet “Exciting old-time music at its finest” – Bluegrass Unlimited Artist Black Twig Pickers, The Genre Americana / Country Label Thrill Jockey Buying Options 12" EP/Mini Album Format 12" , EP/Mini Album Condition New Country UK Track Listings Merry Mountain Hoedown Brushy Fork Of John’s Creek Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Black Twig Pickers, The and more from Americana / Country View Product Quick View Black Twig Pickers, The Friends Peace Americana / Country | VHF | 1LP Released 2nd April 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Black Twig Pickers, The Friends Peace £23.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: VHF SKU: VHF153 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Black Twig Pickers, The Rough Carpenters Americana / Country | Thrill Jockey | 1LP Released 13th February 2013 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Black Twig Pickers, The Rough Carpenters £14.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL309LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th February 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mandolin Orange Blindfaller Americana / Country | Yep Roc | 180g, 1LP Released 16th November 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mandolin Orange Blindfaller £18.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2487 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hank Williams The Unreleased Recordings -180g Americana / Country | Timelife | 1LP Released 11th November 2009 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hank Williams The Unreleased Recordings -180g £17.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Timelife SKU: 24880Z Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th November 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Twain Rare Feeling Americana / Country | BB*Island | 1LP Released 15th June 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Twain Rare Feeling £19.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: BB*Island SKU: BBI0331 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Crystal Gayle You Don’t Know Me Americana / Country | BFD Records | 1LP Released 25th October 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Crystal Gayle You Don’t Know Me £18.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: BFD Records SKU: BFD187LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eleni Mandell Dark Lights Up Americana / Country | Yep Roc | 180g, 1LP Released 24th August 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eleni Mandell Dark Lights Up £19.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2444 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th August 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Diana Jones Better Times Will Come (Reimagined & Remastered) Americana / Country | Proper Records | 1LP Released 7th April 2023 £25.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Diana Jones Better Times Will Come (Reimagined & Remastered) £25.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Proper Records SKU: PRPLP167 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th April 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Rosanne Cash She Remembers Everything Americana / Country | Blue Note | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 31st October 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rosanne Cash She Remembers Everything £20.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Blue Note SKU: 6789163 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 31st October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cadillac Three, The The Years Go Fast Americana / Country | UMC | 1LP Released 27th October 2023 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cadillac Three, The The Years Go Fast £24.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: UMC SKU: 3009806 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hank Williams The Garden Spot Programs, 1950 Americana / Country | Omnivore | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 12th February 2015 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hank Williams The Garden Spot Programs, 1950 £20.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Omnivore SKU: OVLP087 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 12th February 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mt.
