    I've listened to Ween but didn't know about this album. You just filled an hour of my life!

    Was it with you who I had a conversation about Slobberbone?

    I assumed Unknown Hinson was rockabilly rather than altcountry or Americana....which are just synonyms for Grateful Dead.

    What?! I don't know anyone who would say Greatful Dead are alt-country/Americana. They're a hippie jam band. Think Steve Earl.

    Well...the local Grateful Dead tribute band (which I was briefly part of until I found out it was a Grateful Dead tribute band) calls it Americana, and the song selection certainly reflected that. Besides that, I don't know what "hippie jam" is, unless it involves djembes, mystic bowls and didgeridoos.

    Unknown is not alt country or rockabilly.
    I'd place him more in traditional country with a rock amplifier..
    Grateful Dead and Americana/alt say what?
    PFunk and Kanye West are synonyms too then..

    Alrighty then...whatever..I really dont gaf, but as I said: those I know who actually play GD say it's americana, and with few exceptions everything I'e ever heard from them is just loud americana.
