Yet another interesting title on the Starr Record label. This group is from Ravenswood, WV. A five piece band that according to the liner notes, "…have their own style and they know what to do with it." This is definitely one of the more interesting country titles on Starr. Enjoy the tunes as the band ponders the mysteries of racing cars and the other worldly apparition of the Phantom 309.

Most people here probably know this but ‘Phantom 309′ is actually a poem by a trucker poet named Red Sovine called “Big Joe and Phantom 309″. Tom Waits did a memorable reading of it on his ‘Nitehawks At The Diner’ live album in ’75.
