Sound description: From Bloodshotrecords.com: "Their songs are right out of the Buck Owens songbook, and will break your heart, if you have one. They're decidedly reverent, but definitely not an aping museum piece, either. You have not heard straight up honky tonk done like this in decades. We're serious."

RIYL: BR5-49, Old '97s, classic honky-tonk

History:

Rex Hobart and the Misery Boys got together in Kansas City in the winter of 1997. Rex (or Scott, to his friends) was known as the frontman for Kansas City math-rock legends Giant's Chair, but had been writing and playing country songs on his own for awhile. The Misery Boys hooked up with Chicago alt-country label Bloodshot Records and have since released three albums. Rex moved to Buffalo, NY in 2002 but frequently tours his way back to the Kansas City area.
