Brett Eugene Ralph’s Kentucky Chrome Revue

Bio:

The self-titled debut album by Brett Eugene Ralph's Kentucky Chrome Revue is out now on Noise Pollution and can be ordered here for a mere ten dollars: http://www.louisvillenoise.com/v2/releases/noise36.htm The record features contributions by 21 country gunslingers, indie icons, and punk rock desperadoes, including Will Oldham, Jolie Holland, Freakwater's Catherine Irwin, and members of Slint, Sebadoh, Silver Jews, Royal Trux, and A Perfect Circle. Brett Eugene Ralph's Kentucky Chrome Revue is a revolving cast of pickers, players, and singers who animate the story-songs of poet Brett Eugene Ralph with the spunk and sparkle of 70's "outlaw" country. The current live band is based in Louisville and features Chris Reinstatler on drums, Mark "Lupe" Hamilton on lead guitar, Justin Davis on bass, and Jamie Daniel on violin.
