137: Strung Like A Horse
Nov 12, 2020 • S05 E137 • 01:20:03
On Episode 137, I'm joined by Clay Maselle, the lead vocalist of Strung Like A Horse. The Chattanooga, Tennessee outfit released the excellent new album Whoa! a couple of weeks back (Friday, Oct 30). With producer/engineer Matt Ross-Spang at the helm, SLAH delivers a rich and vibrant full-length that captures them at their best. Whoa! embraces the band's raw and dynamic live energy while also highlighting their broad spectrum of country funk roots and garage rock spirit. The infectious album-opener "Fuck What You Think" really says it all in one large swoop and serves as an iconoclastic anthem of sorts. Other highlights include odes to Maselle's Mississippi roots with "Gold in Their Souls" and "Pelahatchie Nights" or the album's swirling sendoff "Dreamin'."
During this interview, we talk about recording Whoa!, how 2020 changed the band's plans, writing about those Mississippi roots, hometowns, dream songs, Maselle's time in Durango, Colorado, and eventual move to Chattanooga, and building a home on the side of a mountain during Quarantine.
