Catalog Number: SL085LP Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 723592757885 Drivers of southern backroads know those bullet-riddled yellow signs that warn wanderlust motorists about the "Loose Livestock" which claim roadways as their own. One of those signs, slightly misremembered, was the inspiration for LOOSE CATTLE, the five-piece roots rock outfit declared "favorite Americana cowpunks in New Orleans" by OffBeat Magazine. Led by the double-barreled frontperson duo of Kimberly Kaye and Michael Cerveris, the band is as passionate about stampeding through wild, Southern rock barn-burners as it is ambling through their gentler, harmony-drenched folk ballads. Their rootsy, worn-in original songwriting likewise veers between wry observations of human frailty, and stalwart objection to the injustices of these times. As a band and individuals, Cerveris, Kaye, and fellow members Rene Coman, Doug Garrison and Rurik Nunan work to make music that matters, aligning themselves with, and advocating for, people at the margins of our society. In the band's mind, if "Americana" is to mean anything, it should mean inclusion and a diverse music scene populated by the people the American Dream crushed. The misfits and outcasts are who they sing for, and choose to dance with. Lead singer Michael Cerveris is a two-time TONY and GRAMMY Award winner, recently appearing in HBO's The Gilded Age. Produced by John Agnello (Son Volt, Dinosaur Jr). Featuring guest appearances from Lucinda Williams and Patterson Hood. Rhythm section Rene Coman and Doug Harrison also play with beloved cult icons The Iguanas and backed up the late Alex Chilton.
