WELCOME FRIENDS!!!
Acoustic Music, Raucous and Rowdy! I can't decide who influenced me more, Jimmie Rodgers, Skip James, Bill Monroe, Ed Dye or Butch Robins, but they're all in there. Me, Ed, Clint Jordan, Augie Joachim, and Bryan Hayes for a taste of original, funky, jang-a-lang Mississippi music.
Fresh from the stage of THE SUCARNOCHEE REVUE, a nationally syndicated radio show recorded live on the campus of the University of West Alabama, we'll entertain you and have your foot pattin' in no time.
Check out our new CD on the Sliverwolf label, THE SUCARNOCHEE REVUE PRESENTS MISSISSIPPI CHRIS SHARP AND THE JANG-A-LANG STRING BAND. New music with an old-time groove.
Says Murray Krugman, founder and CEO of Silverwolf records, "From the most foreboding delta swamps to the most inviting Mississippi barbeque, Mississippi Chris Sharp playfully weaves a tapestry of musical styles to illuminate what may remain the richest culture this country has to offer. Using elements of blues, bluegrass country, and folk, Chris tells his tale and at each story's peak, leaves his listener eager for more."
Come see us down here in Mississippi!!!

Hey Chris I have been meaning to drop you a line for awhile.....during the recent BHO thread about writing your own songs I had the opputunity to listen to your original tunes on your homepage and I was reaaly blown away. That is some fine song writing and playing there. I just wanted to put a "shout out" up.........love yer originals especially ByeBye Birdie.....Friend....and Tenn-Tom Flyway. And you're right about Sally Goodin...one of my favorite songs...........Butch Robbins tears it up. Great Work......keep it up...............Jang-A-Lang
I now have 50 songs you have recorded, and most, you have written...a prized possession. Of the 50, I keep coming back to two that really resonate with me, "Cumberland Man's Lament" and "Voices in The Wind". I know there are other great songs in the mix but I keep going back to these two. Thanks Chris
