Music – Austin
\"We\'re not from Tennessee.\"
A little bit rock \'n\' roll, a little bit country, and a whole lotta rowdy make up the Tennessee Stiffs.
A Texas boy marries a Minnesota girl, and together they put together an eclectic group of musicians and produce a brand they affectionately call \"Death Folk.\" Others have called it \"Southern-Fried Gypsy Rock\", but everyone agrees that it\'s unmistakably Austin.
Patience is a virtue. After waiting for the right lineup and score, the Stiffs recorded their debut album, \"Nightery\", recently. Fueled by their broad pool of influence, the live studio album has something for everyone. Whether you dig on Delta blues or groovy soul or breakneck rock, this album covers it all. It\'s part Jack White, part Tom Waits, part Josh Homme, and all Stiffs.
