About This Item
Out of the swamps of Lafayette, Louisiana, comes InchDeano & Jo,Inch a musical and marital partnership, playing their slightly skewed take on classic honky-tonk and bluegrass sounds. InchDeanoInch is Dean Schlabowske of Chicago's notorious Waco Brothers. InchJoInch is Jo Walston of Austin's Meat Purveyors. Their self-titled debut album is a mix of Dean's original songs and classic but lesser-known covers from bluegrass and honky-tonk greats. Dean's original songs touch on themes of blue collar struggle (InchNever Going BackInch) and personal demons (InchMy Evil TwinInch), along with veiled political commentary (InchA Promise UnfulfilledInch) and character sketches (InchMurlineInch). The cover versions sprinkled in deal with the most vital vein of country subjects lost love, cheating, drinking, and death. The album is old school enough to appeal to traditionalists, but with enough edge to put a foot in the Alt-Country/Americana world. Album Tracks 1. One More Day 2. Come on Down 3. Hold Whatcha Got 4. A Promise Unfulfilled 5. Tennessee Border 6. Stone Walls and Steel Bars 7. Murline 8. Flame in My Heart 9. A Man Like Me 10. I Just Can't Let You Go 11. Down, Down, Down 12. My Evil Twin 13. Never Going Back
