would recommend black soul choir or dead run over this...but either way they play some excellent jacked up bgrass

Check out the Woven Hand  Mosaic CD...It is a real treat.  Most of the same dudes playing...It is haunting, and that is putting it mildly.

Not sure at all.  Quite different.  I think I need another listen before I can decide if I like this or not.  Giving me a bit of a Hayseed Dixie sort of vibe.  I find them a bit hit and miss.

One of the weaker tracks from one of my favourite bands of all time.

Funny- when this started I wanted to see who was doing a soft-cover version of Hells Bells...

Except that Rusted Root's lead singer is just incredibly happy about everything, so happy that his voice is breaking (which is the main reason why I can't stand Rusted Root), and David Eugene Edwards's voice is breaking because he's tormented by everything, he's in despair :-)

I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with the spiritual side of his lyrics, but I've seen him live 3 times now (once with 16HP and twice with Woven Hand), and his gigs are really intense. After just under 1.5 hours, he's exhausted, and so is the audience. I vastly prefer this over Rusted Root.

I first heard them on All Things Considered many years ago. The album Sackcloth 'N Ashes had just come out. I rushed out and bought it and haven't looked back. They just blew me away with that album. Shame they've split up.

No, it is on their self-title EP from 1995, which is my favorite album of theirs. Low Estate is a good album, however. The aforementioned EP is kinda rare, meaning you'll have pay "import"-type pricing to get it and it'll most likely be used.

I love the instrumental arrangement on this but I can't stand the lead vocal. Man, it's grating!

There so many better tracks from this band to play. Thanks for this one though. I can't believe that I'm hearing 16 Horsepower in the air(net) waves.

This band rocks!!!!

Saw this band open for Innocence Mission some time in the 90's in a very small club. Didn't know who they were but they dam sure blew the headliners away.

16HP is one of the best bands I've seen live. The sounds they create are just unearthly.

Nice, but Violent Femmes did it much better with the Country Death Song. Of course, they're not going to heaven, so it's a wash.

Nice addition! I thought it sounded like a Sixteen Horsepower song I hadn't heard here before.
