Sweet Crude Bill - Rio De Oro Negro

Sweet Crude Bill - Rio De Oro Negro

Rio de Oro Negro is a jukebox of American styles reminiscent of Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, Johnny Cash, Bardo Pond, and Bonnie Prince Billy and Matthew Sweeney's "Superwolf".

Featuring beautifully plait male and female vocals, Sweet Crude Bill evokes the softer side of Exene Cervenka and John Doe. With a penchant for gorgeous string textures and a love of honky tonk, the Sweet Crude family adds rambunctious fiddle, banjo, organ, and trumpets to conjure up a big, Jurassic sound.

In these songs you'll catch glimpses of oil, damnation, striking it rich, funerals, hymns, brotherhood, inspiration, and death - each fable a sunbeam cutting through the darkness of a cave.

Influences:

Johnny Cash, Hedwig & The Angry Inch, Dolly Parton, The Doors, Reverend Billy, Hank Williams, Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch, The Band, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Supersuckers, Detroit Cobras, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Harry Belafonte, Nat King Cole, Elvis Presley, Bill Monroe, Old Crow Medicine Show, Woody Guthrie, La Plebe, Manu Chao, The Earl Brothers, Willie Nelson, Roscoe Holcomb, Waylon Jennings, Kenny Rogers, Velvet Underground, Pixies, Nirvana, Guns 'N' Roses, The Devil's Own, Antibalas, Loquat, Black Sabbath, Kris Kristofferson, The Pogues, Mano Negra, Gogol Bordello, Red Elvises, Reverend Horton Heat, Tom Waits
