The Awful Truth from Widow Maker

December 15, 2007

Widow Maker

Widow Maker is said to be like strong coffee with a shot of Moonshine. Widow Maker’s driving bluegrass goes down smooth, bites hard, and you’re revved up and thirsty for more. Widow Maker is potent original 21st-century bluegrass. The Awful Truth is their latest release.

Craig Korth drives the band hard with picking that Bluegrass Now magazine called “impressive”. Native Virginian Will White delivers straight-ahead instrumentals, sharp-edged original songs, and vigorous soulful singing. Byron Myhre is a renowned championship fiddler whose playing is ferocious, tasteful and slippery smooth. Dale Ulan hops the band up with his energetic, rockabilly-heavy bass, and Julie Kerr is an inspired and accomplished singer/songwriter whose enticing voice ranges from high and plaintive to sassy, low and sultry.
