Shanes, The
Road Worrier
Founded in 1991, THE SHANES - long before Russian disco and folk punk became hip trends - already combined elements of these styles and named it ,Hard Polka". 5 albums later the band now celebrates their 20th Anniversary with ,Road Worrier". On the new album infl uences of American Folk, Country & Western mix together and create a great release. With accordion, fiddle, fi ve-string and tenor banjo, mandolin, guitar (s), bass and drums and percussions TheE Shanes present a spiced with a big dose of enthusiasm mix of rock, (Irish) Folk, Balkan-/Gypsy sounds and Americana. The result is 12 virtuously forward going, stylistically varied songs in the special class, including the excellent cover of Hr Dclassic ,Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill
