Truckstop Honeymoon

From the Smoky Mountains we headed towards Chattanooga, Tennessee to catch a show by a band called Truckstop Honeymoon. Some of you reading may have caught their show last winter in Fairbanks or may have heard them before hurricane Katrina when they were living in New Orleans. They are a two person band that play standup bass, 12 string guitar and banjo and sing about topics such as communism, uniting union workers and getting kicked out the Waffle House for making out in the booth. In other words they are a very fun, energetic, great dancing and a good old knee slapping band. Truckstop Honeymoon and the guy’s solo work (Mike West) have quickly become my favorite bands since we downloaded some of their music from our friend Jock before we left Fairbanks. I encourage all of you who don’t know either band to check out their web sites (truckstophoneymoon.com and mikewest.net) and pick up some of their music. It won’t take you long before you’ll be hooked too!!
