Cickasaw Mudd Puppies

This legendary Athens duo made its mark in the early 90’s with two
Michael Stipe/Willie Dixon produced records: White Dirt and 8 Track
Stomp and a rockin’-stompin’ live show that earned them adoring fans
all over the world.

... Dubbed “swamp rock” their unique sound owes in large part to their
inventive approach to instrumentation, with Brant Slay playing the
rockin’ chair and stomp box (yeah that’s right), wash board, cowbells
and tin cans, combined with Ben Reynolds’ frenetic blues guitar riffs. Drummer Lumpy Weed, aka Alan "cowbell" Cowart, aka "Monterey" Jack Cheese, was found dancing at a rest area on I-10. The rest, as they say, is rock n roll history. Prior to that, Lumpy was introduced to the Mudd Puppies by sharing the stage with them as the drummer for the legendary Jacksonville band, Beggar Weeds, who also had a Stipe-produced record. The friendship and musical kinship was instantaneous.
The Mudd Puppies drag old-timey porch music kicking and screaming
into the 21st Century.
