Artist description California's real Honky-Tonk band shines like burning stars in the Bakersfield sky. Red Meat marinate their warm and tangy twang with close gospel-influenced, male/female harmonies, textured fiddle tones, weeping pedal steel, tube-toned guitar picking, sweet mandolin chimes, an elastic rhythm section, and the occasional old-timey yodel. Encompassing the gamut of Americana, Red Meat effortlessly weave in and out of Western Swing Revival, folkie country songs, and lonesome, California Honky-Tonk angel anthems.
