Churchwood is anything but the same old blues from Austin. On their debut album for Saustex, they bring back memories of Captain Beefheart & The Magic
Band and bring whiffs of Jon Spencer to the mix - blues music that's adventurous, innovative, wild, wooly and stirring that comes down from deep within
the musical delta of that hipster realm known as Bohemia via the garage. They make Jeff proud... The band reunites guitarist Bill Anderson (known for
his six-string mastery and versatility with such diverse bands as Poison 13, The Horsies and The Meat Purveyors) and singer/lyricist Joe Doerr (with
roots music cred from his 1980s stint in the legendary LeRoi Brothers), who led Ballad Shambles and Hand of Glory for three now prized albums on the
Skyclad label during their late '80s/early '90s run.
