Southern Culture On The Skids Guest

"countrypolitan transcends music. It's a lifestyle, not a category of music," says southern culture on the skids front man, rick miller. "it's where rural and urban sensibilities meet. I mean, it's when you see trucker hats being sold in beverly hills boutiques or notice folks eating pork in mebane, where I live, drinking a glass of merlot. Or best yet, when you see a motor sport invented by backwoods moonshine runners and bootleggers broadcast on sunday afternoon into potentially every living room in america, there ain't no doubt it's a countrypolitan world and scots' new album, countrypolitan favorites, is the soundtrack for it."long the bards of downward mobility, southern culture on the skids have always embodied countrypolitan. Recently described by dwight yoakam (in filter) as "really on the outside, like dick dale meets hank thompson," scots have mixed high and low culture for decades, endlessly touring, serving up moonshine martinis and poultry picking for fans everywhere. Now, with their new fifteen song covers collection, countrypolitan favorites, they've given the go-go country treatment to some of their favorite songs, creating a tasty buffet of tunes from don gibson to t-rex.listen to our schubas.com backstage interview with southern culture on the skids.
