Moonshine Willy United States
Biography
Over the course of 3 LPs, 2 singles, and some compilation action, Moonshine Willy endeared themselves to the nascent "alt-country" scene with a whiz-bang melding of rockabilly rumble, bluegrass chicanary, and punk chutzpah. It was head-scratching stuff for a lot of folks at the time---too country for punk, too punk for country---but their energy onstage was undeniable. And irresistible. Holding the dubious distinction of signing the first Bloodshot Records contract (at Lou Mitchell's northside breakfast joint)
