Rattletrap	"Rattletrap plays old-timey music, which sounds kinda like bluegrass, unless you know what bluegrass sounds, like, and then it doesn't, so you say, "That's not bluegrass," which is correct, because it's old-timey music, as I have previously stated. Old-timey music does have banjos and fiddles and a doghouse bass and geetar, but the whole philosophy is different. Old-timey folks actually have fun and don't get all pumped up on testosterone and have to take pee tests to perform at the IBMA... Oh, never mind." -Eric Leighton of The Athens News [ mail: oldtime_ at hotmail_dot_c0m ] [ 2 Songs ] [ 42 Concerts ] [ 1 Video ] [ 2 Photos ]
