Acoustic Appalachian Dysfunctional Folk Rock
AcousticAppalachianDysfunctionalFolkRock...from the dusty black coalfields of southwest Virginia, Foddershock is a collaboration between two long-time friends- one that writes strangely truthful and surreal lyrics about the often sordid details of the human condition, and one that puts it all together with a unique and perfectly twisted blend of American roots music. Songs about love, hate, life, death, drinkin, and killin. Sometimes tragic. Sometimes funny. Always interesting. Everything from guitar driven "Alt. Country" to "bluegrass" to a weird mix of banjos and walkie-talkies that can only be described as "southern banjer trance". Put John Prine, The Grateful Dead, Primus, and Camper Van Beethoven in a blender and you gotta a big ol glass of Foddershock. Drink up!

Story behind the song
Larry lives way up in the holler...grows dope...makes corn liquor...wants to be left the hell alone. Purty scary tune about anger, paranoia, and social withdrawal.
Lyrics
Credits: Written by A.K. Mullins; Arranged and performed by W.V. Hill Lyrics Larry is a mountain misfit He`s more than a little weird Spider eggs and copperheads Livin` inside his beard A demon on his shoulder A monkey on his back He`ll murder you for a pint`a brew He`s a moonshine maniac (C): Hermit, ogre, mad recluse Killer dope and devil juice Soul of black and eyes of red The hills are alive But Larry`s dead Larry is a mountain misfit Got no next`a kin Bloody meat and pickled feet Drippin` off his chin A bone to pick with Jesus No fear of the Holy Ghost He`ll make`ya bleed for an ounce`a weed His brain is a piece of toast repeat (C): Larry is a mountain misfit He`s more than a bit deranged Always stoned and all alone Ain`t never gonna change He`s lurkin` in the shadows And hidin` from the truth The more he drinks the more I think He looks alot like you repeat (C):
