Hackensaw Boys Charismo

With a recent appearance on NPR's Weekend Edition and glowing reviews in No Depression, Saving Country Music, and more, Hackensaw Boys are "back with a vengeance" (No Depression) with Charismo, their first studio record in nearly a decade. Produced by Larry Campbell who has lent his talents to Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, and countless others Charismo is the Hackensaw Boys record you ve been waiting to hear. The 11-track album feels like the band's zenith release, gathering their diverse life experiences and myriad of roots influences, and crystallizing them into a magnum opus on the Hackensaw way of being. Bluegrass, traditional Appalachian string band tunes, and Delta blues lay the groundwork, but it s injected with a heavy dose of the contemporary, good-times-roll kind of spit and vinegar the band has become known for over the years.
