Sixteen Horsepower

This band is one of my favorites and I kind of found them by accident. They're classified as alt-country but that's such a broad genre. I had the chance to see them live in Ohio in a tiny bar and it was such a haunting show.

I know they have this religious theme going on pretty seriously and I don't understand why people let that be a barrier with music. Why does listening to klezmer music means you have to be Jewish? My boyfriend's friend sent him a text the other day about how he found this cool new band and then an hour later he texted him to say "oh gross they're christian rock! I can't believe I liked it!" hahaha...as if he literally had to run away and wash himself. Hilarious.
