From epic road songs to tear-stained tales of heartache, from Texas-style rockers to dark-humored murder ballads, The Swearengens cover a lot of musical and emotional territory with their six-piece attempt at reviving the glory days alt-country of Whiskeytown, The Jayhawks, Dwight Yoakam, Uncle Tupelo, and Steve Earle. This ain't background country music for cubicles and wine tastings, these are memorable songs filled with honesty and passion. Their debut release "Devil Gets Her Way" was named one of "Seattle's Top Country Albums of 2012″ by the Seattle Weekly. Combined with their raucous live performances and a dedicated following of hard-drinking two-steppers behind them, if you haven't had a great time at a Swearengens show, well, then you haven't been out to one yet.
