Due to the awful political strife of the last 20+ years, the press paints Americanistan as a backward, dusty country devoid of cultural richness and overrun by barbaric religious fanatics. Actually, the oppressed common men and woman of this fabled land are heirs to a vibrant culture and a rich musical tradition. Fortunately, with the stranglehold of the Trumpiban now broken, Americanistani music is once again seeing the light of day. In spite of all the suffering of these colorless people, their songs have a powerful and still joyful energy, played by virtuoso musicians, the equal to those of any other culture.

Featuring the twangy talents of Spider Bags, Dusk, The Men, and 14 more bands who know know the difference between a shout and a holler.
