SOUNDS: Standard Deluxe presents Blue Mountain 5/29

...Emerging from the post-punk Americana scene in the late eighties Blue Mountain came roarin' up out of Oxford Mississippi with a sound that practically defined Alt-Country as a genre in American Music. Band members Cary Hudson (guitar), Laurie Stirratt (bass) and Frank Coutch (drums) create beautiful music that consumes listeners with all the passion and grace of the American South. Honest and straightforward, Blue Mountain's scope of musical output has been critically linked to Neil Young and Crazy Horse, the Allman Brothers, Elvis, Tammy Wynette, Robert Johnson, and Alex Chilton among many others. Touring and recording for over a decade, the band called it quits in 2001 only to be re-born better than ever in 2007. (source)

Image from Yee-Haw Industries: Yee-Haw Industries has been covering America with unique, art-like products since 1996. Partners Kevin Bradley & Julie Belcher opened up shop from a back-40 barn in Corbin, Kentucky, with salvaged, antique equipment previously put to rust. Their vibrant, folk art, wood cut prints of country music's classic stars, such as Hank Williams, Sr. and Loretta Lynn, caught eyes and told stories. Handmade posters featured stranger-than-fiction characters, like ass-whooping grocer Cas Walker and daredevil icon Evel Kenevil. Soon, modern music acts, including Steve Earle, Buddy Guy, Trey Anastasio, Lucinda Williams and Southern Culture on the Skids began commissioning promotional posters and album art.

In 1998, having outgrown the bluegrass barn, Yee-Haw moved to a 100+-year-old building on Gay Street in historic downtown Knoxville (just a few doors down from where Hank Sr. was last seen alive). They began offering tours of the Yee-Haw studio in action and mainstreet store to sell their wares.
