| If Doc Watson, Ryan Adams, Dwight Yoakam and Maynard James Keenan were all trapped in a coal mine cave-in, Knoxville’s Medford’s Black Record Collection would likely parallel the songs they would write and sing together with their dying breaths.
Just like this, nobody gets out of a Medford’s song alive. Long time friends Matt Foster and Michael Davis’ first record, “The Flattville Murder Album” is written from the inspiration of dark and foreboding folk murder ballads and is a concept piece weaving together a continuing story told through the sounds of raw wood and an alloy of voices. Ever focused on storytelling, MBRC’s music is sweet and sorrowful, grassy and folksy, but with enough rock and roll pathos thrown in to satisfy even the most basic of sonic appetites.
Yet always, close attention is paid to the delicate beauty of all that is dark and mournful, which balances the sound into a fulfilling simplicity.
With a sound akin to such new ‘grass, folk, and country rockers as The Avett Brothers, Old Crow Medicine Show and the everybody fields, Davis and Foster are “two of the hardest working young whippersnappers in (Knoxville)” (Knoxville’s MetroPulse), self producing and releasing their first album, and playing five and six instruments apiece in their live show which is spreading throughout the southeast. Unafraid of exposing their roots while reaching for the next limb of the Americana tree, Medford’s Black Record Collection is quickly becoming a trailblazer of roots music’s new generation.
What others are saying about Medford’s Black Record Collection:
“The kind of muffled, painful moans you’d expect to overhear while hiking the Appalachian Trail…the unpolished heartfelt moans that were so good that they’ve resisted change for over a hundred years…they keep the mountain traditions alive and keep it local, reminding us of our roots.”- Molly Kincaid, MetroPulse, Knoxville, TN
“The band’s sound contains all the dank, shadowy Appalachian humidity a goth-folk historian could want for, but it’s modernized enough to where it feels more accessible than archaic.”- Leslie Wylie, MetroPulse, Knoxville, TN
“Four out of five stars…I’ve not seen an album of this type that does so well at telling a story…‘The Flattville Murder Album’ is storytelling at its best combined with fantastically put together and played music.”- Indie Matters, Charlotte, NC
“…Making music that is part of the fabric of life in this area…they truly are beginning to stand out among the others. Their approach is honest, their music is good, and their future is bright. We are proud to play their tunes.”- Benny Smith, WUTK-FM General Manager, Knoxville, TN |

| The Cornbred Blues Band is one of Knoxville's premier blues fusion bands, incorporating elements of blues, rock, rockabilly, psychedelia, punk, jazz, and traditional Afro Appalachian folk music into a style that encompasses all stages of this area’s rich musical and cultural heritage. The band formed around the nucleus of a wandering, dejected, and clearly disturbed young singer song writer from Morristown, TN, named Jon Worley. After years of wandering the southern juke joints and dives in a vain attempt to play and drink his life away, he decided to stay a while in Knoxville and see what was going on. He soon encountered a bass player from the South Knoxville area named Shaggy sittin’ on a log down in a Vestal holler. Jon offered him some Panther Piss and showed him his patented hillbilly version of Tovan throat singing. It was not long before crossmojanization occurred and they were well on their way. A few weeks later they were scheduled to play a gig in a nasty little dive in North Knox and thought "wouldn't it be fun to have a drummer". It was that night they bound, gagged, and abducted Ricky Mathis, whom they later found out was actually a multiple personality of some other guy, from a peaceful night’s slumber and threw him in the back of a pickup with a three piece to play the show. Shaggy brought his bass and beard. The next piece of the puzzle came together while playing a show on the back porch of Patrick Sullivan's. Lo and Behold Daniel Lancaster, a childhood friend of Jon who hadn't seen him in years due to a juju hex placed upon them in the midst of a vitamin experiment, walked in the door, and the band was complete. Lancaster owed Jon for giving him of his Easter eggs during a hunt at Morristown’s West Elementary when they were in kindergarten and had been trying to work off the debt. The band has been playing, stompin’, and screamin’ every day since. Sometimes they’ll play on a barge for hundreds of people floating on the river and wake up the next morning in a hotel suite, and sometimes they’ll play for bikers by a campfire in North Carolina and wake up half naked in a mountain creek. You can always count on two things: They’ll make the gig, and they’ll have a story to tell when we get there. It’s the life of a Cornbred Kid. |
