After seven years of relentless touring throughout the United States, Europe and the U.K., the Hackensaw Boys are being recognized as one of the most exciting groups on the diverse Americana music scene. The group’s second release for Nettwerk Records, Look Out, represents the recorded culmination of the Hackensaw’s unique vision: A celebratory but defiant sound culled from old-time mountains, backstage doorways and punishing drives through the evolving American landscape.
Nine of the album’s 12 songs were written from within the group and sometime Modest Mouse/sometime Hackensaw Tom Peloso contributed two tracks. A pounding rendition of the traditional “Gospel Plow” rounds out the package.

Put twelve musicians and their photographer friend in a 1964 GMC motorcoach and send them around the country a few times and this is what you get. These bootleg recordings lovingly collected by Pee Paw and the Kooky-Eyed Fox impart some sense of the beautiful insanity that is the road. Ingredients: Lots of bars, lots of broken strings and uncommon bravery.

Recorded in the Coles’ family parlor over the course of two sweltering July days this album reflects the raw abandon and emerging songcraft of a group that, at the time of recording, wasn’t even sure exactly who was in the band. Ingredients: Twelve musicians, two dogs and a hell of a lot of microphones.
