As Brother Tex and I were serving our Lenten penance, we pretty much filled our days with mixing. I wanted to do this one, with Temptation as a working title, as the flipside to our Gutbucket Easter Praise mix, though in some cases, the choices were made using the essence of Tex.This one deals with man’s weaknesses on the one hand and then Lucifer himself (or herself) on the other.

Hi, guys! What a fantastic collection! Are these compilations available for sale? As Australia's leading (maybe only) jug band for more than 40 years (yes we started in 1965 and four of the original members are still playing in the band), The Gut Bucket Jug Band is always on the lookout for new material to get its teeth into. Catch the results on www.cdbaby.com/cd/gutbucket (... gutbucket2, ... gutbucket3, ... gutbucket4). Best wishes from Down Under. Brent Davey (1st banjo, GBJB.

No, these are simply lists of songs that we think sound well together. I recommend that you dig up the artists on your own, we'll definitely be checking your music out, anything gutbucket is good enough for us!
