On their recent release, Hogslop String Band head Down the Road, the title track opening the song cycle for the album, defining fans as family with the tag line ‘all my people live down the road’. Sonically the song is a psychedelic dream played out against the traditional sound of a string band. The style is a brand for the four members of Hogslop String Band (Kevin Martin (vocals/fiddle), Gabriel Kelley (vocals/guitar/harmonica), Daniel Binkley (vocals/banjo), Pickle (upright bass)) as they blend vintage string band sounds with the passion of Rock’n’Roll, getting the group the moniker of Punk purists.
 
Hyper strums create the train-track beat that holds up the story in “Shadow of the Pines” as the natural groove of Hogslop String Band softens to tell the tale of “Mississippi Queen”. The pace picks up for “Gotta Get Goin’”, keeps the momentum going to encourage “Let’s Sing Our Song”, and aims for the dance floor to describe friendly demons with “Highs and Lows”. Down the Road welcomes Sierra Ferrell as she rides shotgun for “Oldsmobile” while Margo Price joins Hogslop String Band for the picture of fame captured in their version of “Cover of the Rolling Stone’.They reimagine The Band’s tune “Rag Mama Rag” as a determined sway envelopes easy rhythms when Hogslop String Band exits Down the Road with “Magic Mountain”.  (by Danny McCloskey)
