If you were a musically adventurous soul, someone in the tradition of Vance Randolph who wanted to traipse around the hills looking for something homegrown, genuine and real, Fayetteville would be a good place to start. It's an Ozark town, but also a southern town, a blues town and a meeting place for various influences. How pleased you would be once you had discovered Charliehorse, musically, a horse of a different color. Charliehorse embodies the confluence of styles you would hope to find there, bringing bits of country, bluegrass, southern rock, blues, and even New Orleans funk into their mix. God bless them for it!
Charliehorse is a great country rock band, and in the best sense of the term. They are not at all like this deplorable squashed-together mess of sound currently being churned out by the recording studios in Nashville. No, these guys are what country rock should be: organic, soulful and rootsy. This Fayetteville quintet evolved out of a core of guys from southern Missouri and northern Arkansas picking buddies who decided to make a go of it in Fayetteville bars. They stuck to it, tinkered with the formula, and with the addition of New Orleans transplant and guitarist/songwriter Brad Helms, the lineup was complete.
Southwest Missouri-born Ben Wardlaw handles most of the lead vocals. Brad Helms adds his sure sense of vocal melody on a few tunes. Bassist Stacy Liles contributes to vocals as well and the lineup is rounded out by the solid backbeat of drummer David Bright and the talents of Cody Russell on banjo and pedal steel.

I haven't been by in a while. Hi! I've just about gotten my album finished. I think it's going to be better than the first one! I haven't been playing out much thanks to the studio, but I have some shows and stuff coming up. Also new shirts! What have you been doing?
Hey thanksgiving, take this! A song written by my old group Bluntsworth four or five years ago.
"Gravy On My Tateys"
Crappy sound quality back then, ouch! The songwriting is still there though I think. What do you think, is it a new classic holiday song?
