Mud Digger, Vol. 4

This is the third volume in a series of Average Joe's samplers that spotlight the kind of outdoor metal honky tonk that Colt Ford and the Mud Digger brand favors. This is country music to be played outdoors in the country, with everyone off work for the weekend and having fun, and it's not quiet and reflective, as much about spinning tires, pounding beers, beating odds, and plowing forward as it is about broken hearts. Highlights this time around include Ford's "Rattle Them Lugz," Charley Farley's "Lose Control," and the Moonshine Band's "Full Throttle."
