Song: You Look Like The Devil
Album:Silver Mountain
The Deadstring Brothers are an alt country band that started out as a Rolling Stones tribute band. They are from Detroit led by Kurt Marschke. He was performing as a solo act and decided to form a band in 2001. By 2005 they signed with the leading alt country label Bloodshot Records. The band has moved around a lot. So Marschke has been the only consistent member over the years. You Look Like The Devil is from the 2007 CD Silver Mountain. The main members at the time were Ross Westerbur on keyboards, Phil Skarich on bass and Eric Hoegemeyer on percussion. Though Marschke writes most of the band's songs, You Look Like The Devil is a Leon Russell song that was recorded by Willie Nelson on the 1973 album Shotgun Willie. As I said, Marschke moved to Nashville for the 2013 album Cannery Row. So this was a completely different band. Then Marschke moved to the Pacific Northwest. The Deadstring Brothers continued to tour. But Cannery Row was their final album. They officially retired earlier this year. Alt country fans should check out Deadstring Brothers. Here are the Deadstring Brothers performing You Look Like The Devil at the 2004 Take Root Festival in Assen, The Netherlands.
