Description
Sixteen Horsepower are a Denver-based alternative country band that revolved around the unique songwriting and singing of David Eugene Edwards. The band made its name with music that combined rural backwoods folk with edgy, off-kilter gothic Americana/country.
Sackcloth ‘n’ Ashes is their first full length album and was originally released in 1996. Driven by fiddles, a bizarre sense of humor, and punk-inflected country-rock, Sackcloth ‘n’ Ashes is a weirdly captivating listen. Nearly every song is a strange, backwoods fable, delivered with clever irony that never undercuts the essential, disturbing intentions of the songs.
Sackcloth ‘n’ Ashes is available on audiophile black vinyl.
