Bourbon Crow

Bourbon Crow is the outlaw country project formed by horror aficionado Buck Bourbon, better know as Wednesday 13, who's real name is Joseph Poole, and former Wednesday 13 bass player, Rayen Belchere. To date they have released two full length album, Highway to Hangovers and Long Way to the Bottom. In 2007, an exclusive Texas tour in support of the debut album had to be cancelled after Wednesday 13 was involved in a car accident returning from rehearsals, leaving him with a broken collar bone and a fractured ankle. In May 2009, the band toured the United States in support of their second release, featuring Wednesday and Rayen performing dual vocals and acoustic guitar duties, this touring lineup also included current Wednesday 13 bassist Nate Manor on electric bass with Roman Surman as the electric guitarist. The band cite many country legends such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard as their main influences, claiming that Highway to Hangovers is a salute to these musicians. The subject matter of many of the songs on the record is comical, with satirical lyrics about such topics as alcohol, sex and death. However Bourbon Crow state the album was a serious attempt at Outlaw Country. Their second album is lined to a more modern country sound.
