Sounds Like
--Psychedelic Country... actually I guess some days we kind of sound like if Johnny Cash had ever met Voltaire, or if John Lennon had been a baritone instead of a tenor, or Kris Kirstoferson on a bad day, and Leonard Cohen on a good one.... maybe something like that...
RoughCuts is a band out of Oregon that plays original folk/ country rock tunes that usually have a very secular message. Or... most of the time we just like to drink a few beers and rock....
Thanks lads for the kind words. Well, actually, it was only one word... but, still, it was a kind one. Just listened to all your songs and I sure did enjoy them! -D.B.
Hi guys-Marty here;was listenin to a few of your fellow Oregon bands but when I got to yours,the player seems not to be working??We've a new one up called All The Way,a three minute handclappy powerpop ditty...hope you like it...will call back to your page later to see if all is back to normal... take care
Thank you for the friend request and for your kind message. I will pass it along to Horatio.
Your songs are excellent. My friends and I quite enjoyed them. Nice work!
I hope you have had the opportunity to experience Horatio's glorious new masterpiece "Oh Sh!t I Don't Feel So Good".
Please spread the word about how Horatio Lee Jenkins' exceptional drinking abilities allowed him to humiliate Satan. So many lives could be touched and uplifted by his fabulous story and beautiful song.
And get "Drunker Than Satan"! It is amazing!
Thank you, Deacon Frederick Leroy Elroy Smith
P.S.-Enjoy the glorious video for "Drunker Than Satan":
