Howlin Tumbleweeds

Based way down in Chicago town, the Howlin Tumbleweeds play high-energy rhythm and blues with a distinct Southern-fried sensibility. The songs paint vivid pictures of a twisted backwater world, half circus and half tent revival, where the old country western mainstays of heartbreak and revenge roam free, and the threat of hell is never far away.
