Thin White Rope

Sack Full Of Silver

"Hailing from the northern California town of Davis, THIN WHITE ROPE was unfathomably pegged as a proponent of the paisley underground movement. The songs the group covered over the course of their ten-year career is far more revealing: SUICIDE, THE STOOGES, LEE HAZLEWOOD, MARTY ROBBINS, CAN, and ROKY ERICKSON have all been rendered by the band in the studio and on-stage. That list goes a long way in explaining the mixture of raw, angular riffs, southern twang, and psychedelia. Like all THIN WHITE ROPE releases, Sack Full of Silver is defined by the voice and lyrics of Guy Kyser: the aural equivalent of the flat, parched, endless landscape his characters seem to inhabit. Sobering realizations, like dead ends, await them around every corner. In an environment where failure, desperation, and hopelessness are common currency, adding up ones losses and moving on feels like a great victory. Its clearly no easy task. THIN WHITE ROPEs brand of dueling guitar rock has aged more gracefully than the work of virtually all of their contemporaries. Sack Full of Silver remains as fine an introduction to Kysers unique vision as any. Frontier Records has digitally remastered THIN WHITE ROPEs first five records for LP and CD, and is reissuing them on vinyl for the first time in decades."
