Sounds Like
What would happen if A.P. Carter, Hank, Sr. and Bob Dylan loved up on each other and created a bastard child that likes to rock..... Think bluegrass, rockabilly, ragtime, and Americana with a rock 'n roll presentation.
Savannah, Ga.’s own local-boys-done-good, The Train Wrecks offer up raucous and rollicking Americana that’s as equally indebted to the traditionalist legacies of A.P. Carter and Johnny Cash as it is to the forward-thinking rock & roll of Wilco and Lucero. Local reviewers have been “blown away” by the band’s live shows, and the Wrecks have been officially dubbed “The Hardest Gigging Band in Savannah”, a testament to the love and dedication they have for their music.
The band recently completed the recording of their debut CD “Whiskey & War”, and released it in the fall of 2007. The reviews rolled in! The Connect dubbed the record “simply a revelation….the kind of simultaneously slick and raw record which Ryan Adams regularly cranks out to much critical acclaim”, while Murmur Magazine called it the “best record to come out of Savannah in years”. The band is blushing! The Wrecks have spent the summer headlining club dates and playing festivals throughout the southeast, and are in the midst of planning a full-scale tour in the new year.
Here's what Todd Mathis from the very awesome site twangville.com said about the record:
"The Train Wrecks’ debut Whiskey & War is a tight collection of eight originals with three covers thrown in for good measure. Jason Bible’s vocals are a rusty reminder of why we all love Uncle Tupelo, and you don’t have to get too far into the album to see that The Train Wrecks are fans as well. If the cover of “No Depression” isn’t telling enough, then listen to “She Was the One” or “Whiskey Ain’t My Friend (No More).” Bible strums the acoustic, blows the harp and takes lead on ten of the eleven tracks. The one track written and sung by drummer Mark Kuhlman, entitled “Brand New Day,” could have easily been a leftover from the Old 97’s album Fight Songs, as its a bit more pop than Bible’s folksy-driven tracks. (Although Bible sounds more like Rhett Miller than Kuhlman.) Bassist Eric Dunn holds things down nicely and dobro player Stuart Harmening often steals the show with his tasteful licks scattered throughout the disc. The Wrecks, (can I call them that?) also put on a hell of a live show and are currently filming a DVD to prove just that. In the meantime, if you can’t make it down around Savannah, Georgia to check them out, pick up this CD. Standout tracks include: “Whiskey Ain’t My Friend (No More),” “She Was the One” and the cover of Bob Dylan’s “Jet Pilot”.

hello train wrecks! would you be interested in adopting OR temporarilly fostering this dog? it is three-legged, so Animal Control wants to euthanize it on Friday (thinking it won't get adopted due to its handicap.) Please let me know if you know anyone, they can write to me on myspace or to saveadogaday50@gmail.com.
Hello, it's me, Ruby Jane. I am a 14 year old fiddler, songwriter. I have some songs posted that are fresh out of the studio... Let me know if you like the new songs..be one of the first to hear, even before they are released!Thanks! New videos too!! Ruby Jane
We can get yall on at the Golden Light in Amarillo, Belle Opry House in Snyder, and the Hog Pit in Midland. And probably some other joints too. Let me know fellas. It's time yall made a Texas tour!
Six Black Lab puppies were just brought into animal control. If you can't adopt, please consider sponsoring. Your donation of around $50 will buy one of these pups some time by taking it off Death Row and making it more "adoptable." Also, if you have some space, consider Foster Care. Its like Pet Sitting! you can watch the puppy in between Adopt-a-Thons. It does not cost anything to be a Foster Parent. And of course, adoption is the ultimate way you can help. These babies deserve forever homes, not poisoned needles! Act quickly, pass the word. Death Day is Thursday June 11 at 8am.
Thanks for adding us!! This month's featured show is this Saturday, June 13th! Savannah prog act Sinister Moustache performs their cinematic nightmare of shapeshifting songs. www.myspace.com/sinistermoustache. Then NC band Actual Proof is a jazz-funk fusion act that rocks a mean xylophone. www.myspace.com/actualproof3. Headlining is sci-fi middle eastern funk act Consider the Source, on tour from NYC. www.myspace.com/considerthemusic. This show is only $6!!!! See you at the Wormhole this Saturday!
Thanks for adding us! Please know that adopting is not the only way you can help! You can foster--temporarilly house a dog in between adopt-a-thons so they don't have to sit in a cage all week (its like pet sitting!) You can also Sponsor! Just like sponsoring a child, your donation will save a life. If you sponsor around $50 so the pet can get its spay/neuter certificate (I've seen some that cost less,) you will save its life from euthenasia and help it get adopted. This is a great option for people who can't take a pet home.
We are doing a fundraiser for our non-profit pet rescue at the Wormhole on Saturday July 25th. Entertainment by bellydancers, the Train Wrecks, and more! Please come out.
Looking for bands that will donate their time to play at our pet rescue charity fundraiser on Saturday July 25th. Let me know if you're interested, its an all-day event.

This is Eggie. Please save her by sponsoring with a $50 donation or by adopting.
This is Lucky. Being older, he is overlooked by adopters. He would make a great outside cat and a rat-catcher to keep your shed free from pests. He will be very easy to take care of. Please save from death, June 2nd.
Patty is another baby on Death Row. Please save by being a sponsor and donating $50 for her spay certificate. or adopt.
