ONION CREEK CRAWDADDIES, Barn Burners & Bathtub Bourbon (Beergrass Records)
WHERE IS ONION CREEK? Far southern Travis County -- heading south on I-35, Onion Creek Parkway is one of the last exits within the Austin city limits.
O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? None of the five Crawdaddies are related, though you could never tell by their old-timey harmonies.
WHO DO THEY SOUND LIKE? Their fresh-legged hybrid of bluegrass, country, gospel, and Tex-Mex should bring a smile to the faces of the Gourds, the Weary Boys, Split Lip Rayfield, and South Austin Jug Band fans.
WHAT ARE THEY DRINKING? As explained by "Blood in My Veins," "Another Bourbon," and "Fort," the Crawdaddies enjoy a good adult beverage -- so much so they christened both their sound and record label "Beergrass."
Release party 10pm tonight (Thursday) at the Continental Club with Barfield.
