Bloodshot Records
The Inside Story Of Insurgent Country
By Al Lovelock
A little more than five years ago, in the darkened, beer drenched booze joints of Chicago, a trio of Midwestern 20-somethings and an aging British punk god hatched plots of subversion. The Bloodshot Records insurgency spread like a prairie fire, chasing the thieves from the temple of our country music heritage, slicing Nashville's slimy corporate tentacles, toppling the golden calves of Garth Brooks and Shania Twain, and ushering in a nationwide hoedown of truth, justice, and free beer for all.
