"Hello my name's Robert J. Banta I'm going to play some country music for ya'll. I hope you like it, but if you don't you better keep your mouth shut because I will kick your ass."
A Kentucky hillbilly wandering in the city of his heroes. High and lonesome, but mostly just high. A red, White and Bluegrass eulogy for the American dream. Dangerous Country Music. To the bone. Raw, real, and ready. They're still looking for the last guy that called it alt-country. The devil made him do it the first time...
