Miss Georgia Peach - Aloha from Kentucky (2022) Hi-Res

"You've got to have some kind of voice to even think about covering this song, but of course MGP is up to the task! She absolutely crushes this song, which she and her all-star supporting cast rock up quite a bit. This, my friends, is how you do a cover tune! For those unfamiliar with "The Back Side Of Dallas", I won't spoil the song for you. I'll just say that if you hate newer country music because it's too lightweight, this should be way more to your liking! And with the '60s/'70s era of country music being my favorite, I'm psyched that it's going to be such a big influence on Aloha from Kentucky! It's a long way to Dallas for a small town girl from the middle of Tennessee..." - Lord Rutledge

What happens when two legendary musical acts collide head on in the wilds of Kentucky? This is a tale of the time that punk rocker turned country queen Miss Georgia Peach tangled with the revved-up jesters of raunch, Nashville Pussy.

With an uncompromising commitment to sleaze, Nashville Pussy have remained the high voltage mark for all that is incendiary and boogie-fied in a world gone beige. Their credo can be summed up in their one minute and fifty-nine second masterpiece, Go Motherfucker Go. Not only an instructive call to arms, Go Motherfucker, Go is an empathetic hand on the shoulder for hell-raising miscreants everywhere.

Inspired in equal parts by Dolly Parton and Patti Smith, Miss Georgia Peach has carved a punk rock career for herself fronting several quality acts, ranging from the Gloo Girls to the Short Fuses to Beebe Gallini, among others. With a longtime itch in her soul for straight ahead country music (with a hint of debauchery), Georgia sought out longtime pals Nashville Pussy for a possible collaboration. Knowing Georgia and her sweetly aggressive pipes, Nashville Pussy couldn’t agree more and soon rehearsals for the greatest pairing since Harley met Davidson, commenced at Pussy Manor HQ in Atlanta, GA.

Furious rehearsals, pinball and home cooking led to an equally frantic van ride to Brian Pulito’s recording studio located deep within the state of Kentucky. It was a session that afforded little time for screwing around. Marshalls were cranked, tape was unspooled and Georgia and company hunkered down to business. 9 Pound Hammer bassist Mark Hendricks fell right into the proceedings along with Scott Luallen, also of 9 Pound Hammer fame, who sings with Miss Peach on Bull and the Beaver. Local pedal steel genius Fred Sexton lent his immeasurable talent as well on several numbers. With esteemed producer/drummer/cat wrangler Travis Ramen at the helm, the guilty parties knocked out hit after hit after hit of standards and soon-to-be standards.

You now hold in your sweaty mitts the distilled fruits of that labor. It’s Nashville Pussy at their most melodic and vulnerable matching musical wits with Miss Peach’s sweet, sultry snarl. The material chosen to cover mixed with fresh originals will reel you in only to toss your ass back out on the street where it most likely belongs.

Crunched-out country soul never sounded like this. The deep-fried combo of Miss Georgia Peach and Nashville Pussy will deliver the one-two punch to both of your ear holes and to some of your most important internal organs. One spin and your new permanent salutation will be Aloha From Kentucky, Motherfucker!
