CHRIS SHIFLETT & THE DEAD PEASANTS Chris Shiflett & The Dead Peasants (2010 UK 9-track CD album - Chris Shiflett is already known as the lead guitarist for Foo Fighters and the frontman for Jackson United. Steeped in his love for classic country artists [Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings], rockabilly [Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran], and deep-rooted rock bands [The Rolling Stones, The Replacements], this new album is packed with soulful pedal steel- and twang guitar-accented songs. The albumhighlights his talent and versatility not only as a skillful guitarist, but also as a songwriter. These infectious Americana-laced rock songs are some of the best he's penned, from the chiming keys and buoyant, ringing guitars of 'Get Along' to the pedal steel - and mandolin-lined heartache of 'Bandaged', and from the spry, Old 97s-ian 'Baby, Let It Out' to the rueful country swing of 'Death March')
