I don't know if these guys really looked like this, but I hope they did. Wrapped in bullets and carrying guns. This was the only picture I could find of the band, so I assume they're all dead. I actually first found a mention of this band on Skynfan's Guide to Rock 'n Roll and while the songs were good, the actual listening experience was terrible because it was an awful rip. However, Usenet pays off again with four of their albums. If you like, for lack of a better term, 'southern rock', then you will almost certainly dig Potliquor. They don't have the epic southern mystique of the Drive-By Truckers or Lynyrd Skynyrd. They're more along the lines of Marshall Tucker Band or early ZZ Top with a bit more dixie swing. They also remind me a bit of Lucero. Anyway, this album, Louisiana Rock & Roll, has been a favourite of mine this week. Great rock & roll music, done right and clocking in around 40 min. They probably should have been bigger than they were, aside from an interesting curio from a bygone era.
