A song about globalization
Sugar Baby Sugar Baby
A public domain song most associated with Doc Boggs' 1928 recording. Wes can't play like Doc so, instead, we've added new words here and there.
Euell Gibbon's Last Sex Manual Euell Gibbon's Last Sex Manual
Did you ever wonder what a sex manual written by Euell Gibbons might be like? 'Wild hickory nuts'

A political theory gone bad.

The Rubrics blur the boundaries between Appalachian traditional music, science fiction and the ""what if?"", all expressed through odd "instrumental combinations". Having wrapped up work on their soon to be released CD "Monkey Cat Blues", the band is on a much needed sabbatical in Winona Minnesota currently doing critical research for future work.Have you performed in front of an audience?We play live around the Southeast Minnesota area.

Just so happens I'm familiar with Doc Boggs' recordings. You've done a good job of capturing some of that weird vibe of the original. Nice to hear!
