GULAG TUNES -- SURF INSTRO VERSION OF RUSSIAN TRADITIONAL PRISON SONGS.
Prison songs (as it calls blatnjak) are very popular in Russia. They get such great popularity here as country music in USA. There are many music labels and radio stations for such kind of music.
Why criminal music and criminal lifestyle is so popular here?
Is it because melody harmony developed from Russian roots music? Or because total criminalization of Russian life?
We try to play traditional jailhouse songs in surf manner to make this strange trashy style known worldwide and give this stuffs new free life.

Thank you for your kind message. I will pass it along to Horatio.
Your music sounds excellent!
Please spread the word about how Horatio Lee Jenkins' exceptional drinking abilities allowed him to humiliate Satan. So many lives could be touched and uplifted by his fabulous story and beautiful song.
And get "Drunker Than Satan"! It is amazing!
Thank you, Deacon Frederick Leroy Elroy Smith
