"BACK PORCH VIPERS"

Monday, May 09, 2005
Back Porch Vipers
Friday I went to the Back Porch Vipers CD release party at Cheapo Discs. Their CD Light Up features jazz numbers from the 1930s, such as "Jack I'm Mellow," "When I Get Low, I Get High," "Reefer Man," and "If Youse a Viper" (as the CD cover says, If you need help in determining if you are a viper, this will answer those questions).

Singer Karen Abrahams told me that they have been invited to play at the High Times Cannabis Cup this fall. They have also been chosen to receive two 2005 Global Marijuana Music awards, one for Best Recorded Blues Track for "When I Get Low, I Get High."

The Back Porch Vipers use music to show a humorous and positive side of marijuana use. The tunes are so upbeat that you can't help but smile. All these guys are accomplished Austin musicians who have been around for years. They do a great job of covering these songs from back in the day when marijuana was still legal. It's awesome to see them getting the national recognition they so richly deserve.

"CD REVIEW, BACK PORCH VIPERS"

Back Porch Vipers

CD: Light Up
Label: Flying High Records
Rating: 5 STARS
Genre: Mixed

This band is so cool you will need to wear a coat to listen to them. The Back Porch Vipers are doing their own thing and doing it well. Some of the hottest pickers in the Texas Hill Country are in this band. There is no question that this is truly roots music that preserves the heritage of music from another era. We understand the band is taking their music over-seas but truly hope they bring it back ASAP. Upright bass, fiddle, acoustic guitar, a squeezebox and great singing. What more could a roots music fan ask for.
