Dead Boot by The Buskers

Description

Welcome to 'roots music' at its most playful! Dead Boot is the debut self-produced project from a fine acoustic duo from Baton Rouge, LA.

A 'busker' is literally a street musician. Baton Rouge's own The Buskers are truly reminiscent of the New Orleans street musicians who entranced duo member Dorothy LeBlanc as a child. Her musical partner Mike Whitney is just as comfortable playing dobro and bottleneck as he is 12-string and harmonica; Dorothy's mandolin, guitar, ukelele (and occasional kazoo) add just the right compliment to bring the sounds they love to life. On Dead Boot, you'll be treated to a pleasing blend of original and traditional tunes ranging from folk to bluegrass to blues. Below is the lineup of tunes:
