16 Horsepower - Sackcloth \'n\' Ashes (1996) [192] torrent

Driven by off-kilter fiddles, a bizarre sense of humor, and punk-inflected country-rock, 16 Horsepower\'s second album, 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. It\'s not for everybody, but for alt-country fans tired of Gram Parsons homages, Sackcloth \'n\' Ashes is a welcome listen.
