    Long the bards of downward mobility, Southern Culture on the Skids have always embodied a sleazy, raucous, good-natured, good-time take on the culture of the South. Recently described by Dwight Yoakam (in Filter) as really on the outside, like Dick Dale meets Hank Thompson, SCOTS have mixed high and low culture for decades, endlessly touring, serving up moonshine martinis and poultry picking for fans everywhere.
    Since 1983, when they formed in Chapel Hill, NC, SCOTS have played their unique hybrid of Americana, surf, R&B, rockabilly, and swamp pop, all the while driving fans into ecstatic, sweat-drenched paroxysms of joy. Southern Culture on the Skids have been busy in 2010 not only recording The Kudzu Ranch, but they've recently remastered their classic 1991 album, Too Much Pork For Just One Fork. SCOTS' new album, The Kudzu Ranch, is named after the band's studio/hangout in rural NC where the songs were recorded. "The Kudzu Ranch is a collection of 10 originals and a couple covers,"Rick says, "songs about people, places and things - like good friends and crazy neighbors, dry dirt and pompadoured flirts, busy roads and horny toads - all of them motivatin', salivatin' and procreatin' to their own crazy beat!"
