About

Just about every musician with a sense of irony has wanted to do a country version of "Highway to Hell" at one time or another, but only these amoral Cowpunkers have been able to pull it off without sounding like hacks. Bad Livers' outrageous choice of cover material at their live shows is a thing of legend. With a trademark skewed country style that incorporates Bluegrass, Appalachian Folk, Punk and rock 'n' roll, they re-invent Classic Rock and country with alarming virtuosity and bone-dry humor. This same sense of irreverence and expert ability applies to their numerous originals, enlarging their catalogue of songs to GBV-like proportions.
