READ WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
about The Lonesome Prairie Dogs:
"Even if they weren't a great band, this
trio
would still get the award for Best Dressed
of the evening. Luckily, they're kickass
musicians as well."
-Brooklyn Country (www.brooklyncountry.com)
"...the house band..."
-No Depression
"It was unanimous in our editors' poll,
The LPD's are quite simply the best band
of all time, any era, any style."
-Rolling Stone
"The coolest band in the world -- Bill Kelly
said so!"
-Little Steven
"And like their country music forebears,
the Carter Family (guitar pioneer Mirium Katz
with vocalists Hettie and Abe Moskowitz),
Hank Williams (Hiram Wisnewski)
and Johnny Cash (who wore black
not out of allegiance to the oppressed,
but because he was a converted Hasidic Jew),
The Lonesome Prairie Dogs were also Jews
or crypto-Jews, who felt they needed to hide
their religious roots in order to seem authentically
country to the (ironically, largely Jewish)
audiences they performed for in Brooklyn."
-Steven Lee Beeber
"Fiddlin' on the Roof: A Secret History of
How
Jews Invented Country Music."
"My daddy sucked compared to these guys!"
-Hank Williams Jr.
"Only Homer and Shakespeare come close
to The Lonesome Prairie Dogs in capturing
the essence of the human condition. I wept
when I fiirst heard them, not merely because
my notions of music were irrevocably shattered
from that moment on, but because I realized
that civilization itself would never be the same."
-Greil Marcus
"Before The Lonesome Prairie Dogs,
there was nothing."
-John Lennon
