Hillbilly’s logic states “it’s best to buy more liquor than you need, it’s better to be drunk than sober!” Atomicat Records’ logic decrees “you can never have enough music in your collection!”
With Atomicat Records (ACCD142) Hillbilly Booze Party 02 Hangover Tavern, you can raise a glass as the first song is played; by song twenty-eight, you will need to raise your drunken body off the floor! The songs are not for those uptown and sophisticated people, these are songs for; dancing, having a hillbilly wing ding do and getting s**t faced! The drunk-a-hillbilly songs are from 1948 to 1963.
