Paducah's favorite sons (maybe) The Legendary Shack Shakers will headline a three-band bill at Zanzabar on September 4, along with the Whiskey Bent Valley Boys and Whiskey Shivers, which certainly marks the night as a "roots" show in every respect. TLSS, of course, played rockabilly to begin, with before easing into a strange combo of swamp rock, hickabilly and carnivalia, spiced with influences from Hank III. Although they don't put records on the charts much, they have some special fans: Robert Plant personally selected them to open for a tour in 2005; they tour frequently with the Reverend Horton Heat and Jello Biafra guested on one of their albums, calling called TLSS leader J.D. Wilkes "the last great Rock and Roll frontman." Even the GEICO gekko had a track of theirs for background in a commercial. (Ricky Feather would fit in this band - but he wouldn't agree to do so.) Anyway, head on out for an evening of rompin' and stompin' and don't forget to bring along a designated driver or take a cab or walk. Just don't drive after the show. Tickets are $10.
Here's "Shake Your Hips" from a 2012 show in Denmark:
