What People are Saying on Post Atomic Hillbilly:
"****1/2 Want some real country music, the kind that Hank and Lefty used to make? Look not south to Nashville. Rather, look north to the Yukon, to Whitehorse, to the Undertakin' Daddies. Their debut, Post Atomic Hillbilly, a nice mix of country classics and authentic-sounding originals, is the best new set of real country I've heard so far this year. They're terrific, whether breathing new life into old songs like Roger Miller's Invitation to the Blues or their own new ones like Pictou County Coal, a topical song about the Westray Mine disaster that killed 26 in 1992. Another original, Pushin' Up Daisies would have made a great Hank, Sr. song."
Mike Regenstreif Montreal Gazette
"Post Atomic Hillbilly contains several terrific original compositions, most notably a bluesy country hurtin’ tune in Pushin’ Up Daisies; a powerful coal mining tragedy song in Pictou County Coal; and a folk/bluegrass nugget to be in Isabell.
Some of the ‘cover’ tunes …will make country traditionalists leap for joy… you know these boys are the ‘real deal’ then they include the Shafer/Owens song I’ll break Out Again Tonight…done to perfection here, thanks to that gritty vocal style of Kevin Barr.
Enjoy this outstanding version of Haunted Honkeytonk, a Carl Brouse tune, (the) neat swing version of Roger Miller’s Invitation to the Blues, (and) Kevin Barr’s smoky vocal interpretation (of) a somewhat obscure Dolly Parton tune, When Someone Wants To Leave… another winner.
If you enjoy ‘real’ country music do yourself a favour and find a copy for your listening pleasure."
