The Holy Gamblers

There’s two sides to the coin we collectively call country music, a genre split between stories of hard work and hard livin’, the ranch and the road, espousing both western wisdom and downright bad advice. These types of contradictions pepper any country record worth its salt, resulting in a sort of double vision that makes the music so true to life. Indeed, it’s a thin line that separates responsibility from reckless abandon, hardly any wider than a penny’s edge.
