Native Son on CD

Reissue of Native Son by The JudyBats who were an Alternative Folk-Rock group out of Tennessee. They had a few choice albums in the '90 's on Sire Records and they have a loyal fan base. The JudyBats formed in Knoxville in 1988, initially consisting of University of Tennessee students Jeff Heiskell on vocals, Johnny Sughrue on acoustic guitar, and Ed Winters on electric guitar. The group took their distinctive name from a friend's unrecorded song, which featured the line "punch me with a judybat," a reference to medieval Punch and Judy puppet shows. The trio expanded with keyboardist Peggy Hambright, bassist Timothy Stutz, and drummer Terry Casper. Native Son was recorded at Dreamland Studios in Woodstock, New York. 12 tracks. Wounded Bird Records. 2008.
