"State Line Mob playing strong, taking it slow"

Phillip and Dana Crunk spent much of their younger days playing music in clubs around the Shoals and bars along the Tennessee State Line.

Because of that, and their keen awareness of the exploits of the legendary McNairy County Sheriff Buford Pusser, it was fitting that the Southern rock band the husband-and-wife team formed this past year would be known as The State Line Mob.

The State Line Mob was the nickname of the late sheriff's adversaries, a criminal element that controlled bootlegging, gambling, prostitution, tourist fleecing, robbery and murder in the region during the 1950s and '60s.

Circulating around some of the same locales is where the similarities between today's State Line Mob and the outlaws of decades past ends.

Phillip and Dana's activities strictly involve music that Phillip Crunk admits is heavily influenced by Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd.

"It's what I've listened to all my life," Crunk said.

Crunk also wants to incorporate the three-guitar assault that was used so effectively by Skynyrd in its heyday.

The band includes him and his wife on vocals and Aaron Watterson on

guitars.

The Crunk's utilized studio musicians to record an album, which is available on the band's Web site,

statelinemob.com, and cdbaby.org.

"I started out playing drums," Crunk said. "I gigged around here in this area, in Tennessee and Mississippi around the state line.

"Dana, she's from Rogersville,Al. She plays guitar and keyboards, and I do, too. For this gig, The State Line Mob, we're strictly on vocals."

The album, "Ruckus," was recorded in 2007 at with producer Chris Sevier at Quad Studios and mixed at OMNIsound Studios by famous engineer, George Tutko. It was released on Sevier's Severe Records Feb 2008.

"Dollar Short," an album by country artist Chad Bradford, who hails from the Hatton area, was also released on Severe Records.

"We really started The State Line Mob this past summer," Crunk said. "We spent a good six months working on our new CD."

Some of the time while they were in Nashville, Crunk said he and his wife would take their guitars and hit the clubs on Broadway.If the club management wouldn't let them play, the band would take the music outside to the streets.

"There are a lot of musicians on the street, some interesting stories," he said.

Right now, Crunk said he and his wife are looking for musicians to fill State Line Mob's roster.

"Everyone we know is involved in a lot of different things themselves," he said. Crunk also said it's sometimes difficult to get the necessary commitment out of people to have a successful band.

All 10 songs on "Ruckus" were written by Phillip Crunk, with some help from his wife and Sevier.

The music is straight-ahead guitar-heavy Southern rock with Crunk and his wife sharing the vocal duties.

Phillip Crunk's favorite track is "Hooked."

"It's a love song, I guess," the 33-year-old said.

"It Keeps Me Going" is about the Southern way of life and some of the things you deal with, but manage to continue moving on.

Crunk said he visualized the track "It's Up To You" while he was writing it. The song speaks of the paths people choose to take in life and that it's up to them to change them.

"There's so many ways you can take that song," he said. It could be addressing someone with a drug or alcohol problem or a teenage runaway.

"American Beauty" is an ode to a car Crunk owned, a 1970 Dodge Charger that bore the famous "General Lee" paint scheme made famous on the "Dukes of Hazzard" television show.

While that car is a memory, its replacement, a 1968 Charger with the same paint scheme, is featured on the "Ruckus" album cover.

"McNairy County Line" is about the late Sheriff Pusser.

Crunk said he and his wife are purposely taking things slowly, gathering a band and playing acoustic showcases in Nashville.

On Wednesday, State Line Mob will perform tracks from "Ruckus" live on 92.3 The Sound from Muscle Shoals Sound Studios at 3614 Jackson Highway in Sheffield.

Crunk said they also have a Skynyrd medley they plan on performing as a tribute.

The vibe will be enhanced by an appearance by former
Skynyrd backup singer Jo Jo Billingsley.

"I am honored to have been a part of the greatest band of all time, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and I am so pleased to have gotten to record there in Muscle Shoals," Billingsley said. "My coming back and doing this for you all and the State Line Mob is just a way for me to say thanks to the fans and everyone who loves the music."

Crunk said his producers are busy shopping the album around to some major labels.

"That's really where our focus is at," he said.

"A TRUE TESTAMENT TO AMERICAN MUSIC"

It's not very often that there is a band, singer or group that comes along that can create music that goes beyond the realm of the "expected experience". State Line Mob not only delivers great sound, they literally transport the listener to another place, with music that you not only hear, but that you actually feel ! SLM features Phillip and Dana Crunk both of which perform with amazing depth and emotion that in MTTV's opinion is very rare in today's music. SLM is modern day Southern Rock N Roll at it's BEST !


We invite you to check out the newest video from SLM entitled "It keeps me going". The video features the "General Lee" another true piece of American history, along with some cool segments of off-road fun. To watch the video, simply click on the play button in the player below. You can also listen to an interview I had with Phillip Crunk of State Line Mob on the smaller player below the video. Also be sure and click on the SLM CD cover below the video player to visit the official State Line Mob website and pick up a copy of the new CD "Ruckus" and other cool SLM merchandise!

"Testimonial Quotes given to Duo State Line Mob from some of the Best Known Achieved people in the Music and Film Industry"

Here are Testimonial Quotes given to Duo State Line Mob from some of the Best Known Achieved people in the Music and Film Industry



"Since the release of 'Ruckus', State Line Mob has been part of our library and in heavy rotation on WLAY in Muscle Shoals, AL. Our listeners voted & nominated the release one of the most outstanding of 2008, giving them two Muscle Shoals Music Awards for Best New Artist and Best Country Album of the year and listeners have consistently requested tracks from the CD on the station. Additionally, the band has performed numerous, well received appearances in support of the release for the station. They are always a pleasure to host and we've been happy to feature them as a support act for headlining, national acts as they have visited the area. The band's music blurs the lines typically drawn between Country, Pop and Rock and feels equally at home on both our Country and Rock properties. It would be a crime if SLM were not heard on a national level. We're proud to support them and anticipate a warm release from other broadcasters across formats once their introduced to State Line Mob."

As a Artist & Producer, through all my years of touring with the greats of Kiss, Ozzy, Whitesnake Ect. ,it is refreshing to hear an act coming out of the south with pure integrity. As I reflect back to the days when music coming out of Alabama came from Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Rolling Stones & many other rock and country groups who have all gone on to become legends, It's not everyday that you hear a enamorized version of that "Muscle Shoals Sound "music. I believe in this act & that's what helps make State Line Mob different & sets them apart from any other act.

Straight N' Arrow Productions produced a documentary last summer called "On the road to Hazzard." While producing this film we were pleased and honored to work with the duo Called "State Line Mob." Phillip and Dana are so talented. Their song writng and vocals is pure Southern rock. Not only was their music perfect for our documentary, working with them on a personal level was just a pleasure. They gave us great ideas and took great direction from Erik (Director) with many hours on the phone personal and business. We are a California based company but when working with Phillip and or Dana their professional work ethic was like they were our neighbor. Once Straight N' Arrow was done with the editing we could sing all their songs by memory and truely enjoy each and every song and the story they successfully bring to your attention. This letter is not only to say "State Line Mob" sings well and their songs really helped us out but to say "Our DVD would not be the same with out them."

“Every now and then we get a video submission from an indie act that just says, “Play me.” When we screened State Line Mobs’ “It Keeps Me Going”, we felt we had to play it, even though our audience had no previous exposure to the group. The song is fun to listen to(and got us going, “Yeah!”). The video is well done and sits well in our mix of hit Aussie & North American content. While we haven’t played State Line Mob in heavy rotation (yet), the clip still gets played and we look forward to more material, and maybe even a tour.”

Thanks Phillip for sending me your cd Ruckus and photos from your Ruckus photo shoot. I'm putting an exhibit on Muscle Shoals Music for the Tennessee Valley Art Center. I want to end the exhibit with some information about upcoming artists from the area.
Your music is great! I co-produced a CD that received a four star review in Rolling Stone. My photographs have been displayed by the Smithsonian, published in the biographies of Jerry Wexler and Etta James, on the covers of over 30 albums and CDs, on MTV news, and in an encyclopedia of Appalachian culture.

Dana and Phillip has been on our play list and on rotation on our station for well over a year. The tunes are dynamically sound and entertaining. We have had great comments from our listeners worldwide on their original content and style. We remain proud to have them in our radio station stable and part of the AM1670 family.

"When we first heard State Line Mob, the unique, blended harmony of lead singers Phillip and Dana Crunk, made us sure that this was a talent that we wanted to showcase to our students at our venue. The lyrical prose combines with a toe-tapping, down south melody that plays over and over in your head long after the performance. In today's market of computer generated sounds and suspicious vocals, State Line Mob has kept to the original formula of talent and passion in a field dominated by pre-made hits and advertisement driven quasi-musicians. Phillip and Dana bring back the true sound of the American Working Class."

Appropriately titled “Ruckus” that is what they are causing with their release. This original and multifaceted CD is a must have for any die hard southern rock or country fans collection. Lyrics and a musical depth that is hard to find in today’s market. With tracks like “It Keeps Me Going” and “Baby I Miss You” as well as my personal favorite “It’s Up To You”. This plethora of good time feel good tunes will have you singing and tapping along in no time. Vocals as electric as the guitars that back them, they will not disappoint. An instant classic, I have a feeling we will be hearing a lot more from this greatly talented band.”

Phillip,
Thanks for the email. Sounds like you know this area very well, so next time you are through here, you'll have to for sure stop and grab some lunch or breakfast at Marcy Jo's. We are not down there much anymore due to our road schedule, but if you come through and see us there, then it means we had a break and are having some good grub too.
Thanks again and maybe our paths will cross. Joey

"Germany Cd review"

Ich falle am besten gleich mit der Tür ins Haus: ein besseres Southern-Rock Album ist mir seit TISHAMINGOs "The Point" nicht mehr untergekommen. Die unglaublichen Hooks von STATE LINE MOB machen jeden einzelnen dieser zehn Tracks zu einem homöopathischen Antidepressiva, der Suchtfaktor sollte aber nicht unterschätzt werden. "Ruckus" ist eine der Scheiben, die man schon morgens statt des Weckers hören sollte, denn sogleich stellt sich ein debil-dämliches Grinsen ein, das nur schwer wieder von den Lippen zu zaubern ist.
Nun gibt es aber einige Schreiberlinge, die allen Ernstes behaupten, "Ruckus" sei die beste Southern-Scheibe seit SKYNYRDs "Street Survivors", was natürlich ausgemachter Schwachsinn ist. Ich glaube, jeder Southern-Freak hat "sein" persönliches Post-77-Album - meines ist "Edge Of Forever". Punkt!!

Die singenden Geschwister Crunk, Dana und Phillip, entstammen dem Southern-Rock-Hochadel wurden sie doch in "Muscle Shoals", Alabama entdeckt. Na, klingelt’s? Die Beiden waren 2007 dem dort ansässigen Produzenten Chris Sevier bei einem Gig in Nashville aufgefallen. Dort war dieser eigentlich auf der Suche nach einem hoffnungsvollen Country-Rock-Act gewesen. Er erkannte sofort das grosse Potenzial und nahm sie sofort unter Vertrag. Produzierte selbstverständlich "Ruckus", gar keine Frage.
Die Crunks nannten sich fortan STATE LINE MOB und begannen fleissig, die Swamps des Südens zu rocken - Auftrittsmöglichkeiten für junge, aufstrebende Bands gibt es dort, ganz im Gegensatz zu der Situation hier in Deutschland, zuhauf. Nicht nur das: sie nahmen auch einige Honkytonk-Läden, an denen sich schon so mancher gestandene Crack die Zähne ausgebissen hatte, im Sturm.
Der klangvolle Name stammt aus den wilden 20ern, als sich unzählige kleine 'Al Capones' einige schöne Jahre machen konnten. Der "State Line Mob" war echter Dixie-Crime: ein Syndikat, das im Grenzgebiet zwischen den Bundesstaaten Mississippi, Alabama und Tennessee den illegalen Alkohol- und Spielhallenmarkt kontrollierte. Letzte Reste dieser Organisation konnte erst in den 60er Jahren des vergangenen Jahrhunderts zerschlagen werden.

STATE LINE MOB geben auf ihrem MySpace vollmundig die Garantie "to steal your hearts and blow your minds", und sie nehmen den Mund nicht zu voll. Das Drei-Gitarren-Lineup sorgt sofort für den Southern-Flair - einfach traumhaft, wie It Keeps Me Going losgroovt. Hooked hätte das Zeug, zur offiziellen 'hooked-on-music'-Hymne erkoren zu werden, das ist feinster Southern-Boogie. Dann zwei kurz-knackige Songs Holding You Next To Me und McNairy County Line, zwei Referenzsongs für die eingangs angekündigten "traumhaften Hooks". Allerspätestens mit meinem Sommer-Hit 2008 American Beauty haben Dich STATE LINE MOB endgültig am Haken. Die Stimmen von Dana und Phillip Crunk ergänzen sich nahezu perfekt und die Gesangs-Arrangements sind erstklassig produziert worden. Ohne Frage sind diese "Dütts" das Salz in der "Ruckus"-Suppe.
Eine Kante härter sind die Riffs von I Need Rock'n'Roll ausgefallen, hier klingt's nach den VAN ZANTs, aber zu ihren besseren Zeiten. Bei It's Up To You flirrt eine Hammond über einem schönen Riff - ganz klar: für mich ist dieser Song der primus inter pares. Tief in die Swamps führt uns Southern Comfort und auch hier erweitern Hammond und Piano wunderschön das Spektrum. Leider war weder dem kümmerlichen Booklet noch dem MySpace zu entlocken, wer das derart gefühlvoll die Tasten gedrückt hat.

STATE LINE MOB könnte man am Besten im Dreieck zwischen SKYNYRD, der ELI YOUNG BAND und Travis Tritt verorten. Hier wird der Country- und der Southern-Rocker gleichsam bedient. Wer auf der Suche nach eingängiger, nicht zu intellektueller Musik für die schönen (Cabrio fahren) oder weniger schönen Dinge (Frühjahrsputz) des Lebens ist, oder wer ganz einfach nur mit einer Flasche 'Jack' abhängen will, wird mit "Ruckus" im besten Sinne unterhalten. Volle Punktzahl, wenn's das bei uns gäbe!

"A great southern band"

When you think of modern day southern rock n roll, the band that is going to come everyone’s mind is the State Line Mob.Their blues-hard rock, three-guitar weaving line-up is a Southern image that’s hard to forget.The band was formed in 2007 by vocalists/songwriters Phillip Crunk and Dana Crunk.They both previously played for years in different bands, while cutting their teeth in some of the south’s most dangerous and run down honkytonk-taverns, where they learned the true meaning of southern grit and tough determination.At the time they formed the State Line Mob, the two were playing for tips and free moonshine & beer at a dive surrounded by a swamp in Northwest Alabama, with no roads leading out but one, a dirt road that they plan on following straight to the top. Their name "State Line Mob" came from a real Dixie-crime organization that existed on the Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee border that operated illegal gambling halls and whiskey distilleries, amongst other numerous criminal activities, in the backwoods of these great states before being run out by Sheriff Buford Pusser and his posse back in the 60's & 70's era.The band will not comment on whether they have any affiliation with this underground organization.

The group was discovered in Muscle Shoals Alabama by producer and co-writer on the album Chris Sevier who has worked with artist such as Eliot Morris, Matt Woods, Chad Bradford, Painkiller Hotel, Jason Childers, who was looking for an authentic country act, having become sick of the imposters clogging Nashville and making a mockery of southern music itself. He discovered the band while they were playing a local gig on his way back from Nashville and signed them to his Severe Records on a non-exclusive basis. And in doing so, authenticity is what he got.Their debut album "Ruckus" is the best American southern rock album of 2008, and also the best Southern Rock album since Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Street Survivors" way back in 1977. If you think this is all hyperbole, then just listen to the album. The band's outlaw sound is similar to that of Bad Company’s and 38 Special’s, updated for this decade & era. Three guitars batter you while leaders Phillip Crunk and Dana Crunk trade off on vocals and sing for you southern harmony. The album deals with subjects as diverse as a southern man’s pride in his 70 charger in “American Beauty” and the plight of the State Line Mob against the law itself in “McNairy County Line”. Clever tracks abound, the best of which are "Hooked", "It Keeps Me Going”, "Holding You", and "Who Do You Love." With "Ruckus," they have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in American music. The song “Baby I miss You” is straight-ahead Southern boogie, whereas “Southern Comfort” is the essence of Southern soul. Most of the tracks embody country-fried blues-rock and driving, arena-ready southern rock, that will leave no listener disappointed. Paraphrasing the title of one of the album's songs, “I Need Rock and Roll.” Fortunately, you don't need a bottle of Jack or even a trace of Southern lineage to appreciate the genius of “Ruckus".The lyrics are great, the trio of electric guitars on the album is blessed with raw production, and the tunes--though lacking the pop sensibilities of, say, American idols’ "Carrie Underwood’s"--will have you cranking up the album for your friends. And, after a few spins of “Ruckus,” you might even find yourself digging out those old Allman Brothers’ LPs again.

The founders of the Southern rock band Stateline Mob performed at this year's Dukesfest, a two-day celebration of all things related to the popular '80s television show "The Dukes of Hazzard."

The event was held in June at the Atlanta Motor Speedway and was attended by about 60,000 people, Phillip Crunk said.

The Stateline Mob, which includes Crunk and his wife on vocals, Luke White on lead guitar, Wayne Dykstra on lead/rhythm guitar, Roger Bailey on keys, Scott Gwinn on bass and David Joiner on drums, played two shows at the festival.

The band also was invited to play a special show after the festival in Covington, Ga., at the Hazzard County Barbecue. Crunk said several of the early "Dukes of Hazzard" episodes were filmed in Covington.

"We were the entertainment for the barbecue," Crunk said. "We had a few little turns and twists, but it turned out great. Covington is one of those little towns like Florence."

Crunk said he hopes the band will be featured in a documentary about the festival filmed by the California based Straight and Arrow Film Co.

"You can expect to see some footage of us in there as well as some songs from the CD," Crunk said.

It was through the film company that the band agreed to play an acoustic set at the Hazzard County Barbecue

"I won't say it was the highlight of the year, but that was the highlight so far," Crunk said.

What Crunk and his wife would like to concentrate on now are more shows.

The band's debut album, "Ruckus," was released on Sevier Records in February.

Crunk said there are two versions of the disc, the first 10-track edition and a second edition that includes an acoustic version of "Me and General Lee" as a bonus track.

Crunk said they had been working on the song off and on for a couple of years, but didn't get it finished in time to include it on "Ruckus."

"With song writing, you can't snap your fingers and say I'm going to finish this today," he said. "It took a little bit of inspiration to finish the song."

That inspiration came in the form of the Crunk's General Lee replica, which had been undergoing some engine work.

"We spent a lot of money to get the engine going and it came back a lot better than it was before," he said. "With the inspiration of getting the car back, we finished the song."

He said copies of both discs are available through online music retailers such as CD Baby and locally at Pegasus Records, Tapes & CDs in Florence.

With the release of the CD and the success of their Dukes Fest appearances, Crunk said at least one of his goals has been accomplished.

"We have a good sound going on," he said. "We wanted our live performances to be as hot as what they're listening to on the CD."

With most of the band living in and around the Birmingham, Crunk said rehearsals can be difficult and expensive. "I keep joking that I need them to move closer to me," he said.

"In with the Mob"

In With the Mob
Published: 06-25-2008
Locals playing at DukesFest Event

Local musicians Phillip and Dana Crunk are familiar with playing music at various Shoals and tri-state venues. This weekend they are stepping it up a notch.
Last year the husband/wife team formed the group “State Line Mob,” with a blues-hard rock sound, that exhudes a Southern image which is hard to forget.
The Crunks were discovered in Muscle Shoals by Chris Sevier on his way back from Nashville, while they were playing a local gig. He signed them to his Severe Records label on a non-exclusive basis.
Backed by studio musicians, Luke White - lead and rhythm guitars; Wayne Dykstra - lead guitars; Scott Leno Gwin - bass guitar; DJ- drums; and Roger Bailey-keyboards/piano the group’s debut album "Ruckus" is among the best American southern rock albums of 2008. It has also been compared to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Street Survivors" released way back in 1977.
Sevier was the producer and a co-writer on the album.
The band's “outlaw” sound is similar to that of and updated Bad Company or 38 Special. Three guitars provide the familiar southern rock sound while leaders Phillip and Dana trade off on vocals and sing southern harmony.
The group’s name is a reference to the adversaries of former and legendary NcNairy County, TN Sheriff, Buford Pusser. Pusser was made famous in the movie “Walking Tall.”
Phillip and Dana count several personalities and groups as influencial, among them: Ronnie Van Zant, Duane Allman, Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special, The Rolling Stones, Hank Williams Jr, Willie Nelson, Bear Bryant, David Allen Coe, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, The Outlaws and ‘General Lee”.
Speaking of which, the Crunks also have a ‘68 Dodge Charger, a very similar vehicle to the 1969 “General Lee,” synonomous with the Dukes of Hazzard TV show (1979-1985). The Crunks’ has the same orange “Dukes” paint scheme and is featured on the cover of their new CD “Ruckus,” available on the group’s website www.statelinemob.com.
State Line Mob will be the featured guest in a live show each day of this year’s 30th Aniversary DukesFest at the Atlanta Motor Speedway June 28 and 29.
“We have also been asked to take a major part and be featured on a three-hour documentary DVD entitled "On the Road to Hazzard," a film by Straight n Arrow Productions out of California,” Phillip Crunk said recently.
The grand finale of DukesFest and this documentary will be Sunday night June 29, not far from the speedway in Covington where the original Dukes of Hazzard series was filmed.
“We are again performing live, but this time in a special acoustic show,” Phillip added. “The Hazzard county stunt team is also expected to be there (the folks who actually flew the General Lees in the air).
“This will be a friendly, family barbeque setting and should be quite memorable. We are really looking forward to it,” Phillip said.

"PSR Interviews SLM Lead singer"

http://www.puresouthernrock.com/southern-rock-interviews/state-line-mob-interview

Puresouthernrock.com had a pleasure to interview State Line Mob's Phillip Crunk in June 2009. Here are the results.

Can you tell us a little bit about State Line Mob's background?

Sure, my name is Phillip Crunk & I am the lead singer & songwriter for State Line Mob. S.L.M. was officially formed as a duo in 2007 between me & my wife Dana Crunk who accompanies me on co-vocals. If you want to go to the very beginning, I was a professional drummer for almost 10 years, first earning my dough at the ripe age of 14 playing gigs anywhere & with anyone I could.

I met Dana when I was 18, she was professionally singing & playing keyboards when we first met. My goal was to be a professional songwriter & to sing. I learned to play piano as a writing tool of choice. We both had the same goals in life & that was to pursue music as our career on a big stage and to eventually get out of the honky tonk dives that were allowing us to survive financially along with our day jobs.

To make a long story short, State Line Mob has been in the making for 15 years, previously aka The Crunk Mob duo. The Crunk Mob fully consisted of my father who sings & plays drums, my uncle who played guitar & sang & of course me on drums & vocals and Dana on keys & vocals. We played a lot of gigs together throughout the years. Me and Dana have been in countless various bands throughout the years as well as hired studio musicians.

How would you describe the State Line Mob sound?

Both vocally & musically, you are hearing the influences of rock, country, & blues. That’s because we have lived our whole life here in the historic Muscle Shoals, Alabama area, where these 3 genres naturally collide. We both came from families who were musicians & were influenced by them growing up just as much as what we were hearing on main stream radio. Our sound is a unique blend of our individual taste of music that’s rooted deep in our veins.

Ruckus is definitely one of the finest albums that came out last year, can tell us about the recording process and your favorite songs on it?

Thank you! Unlike what many artists will say, we enjoy working in the studio. Writing & recording is the creative part so I will always enjoy making music. The song selections were tough picks but I feel I made a great choice. My favorite song from Ruckus is hooked & has always been hooked since the day I wrote it 8 years ago.

There is only two of you guys and you had studio musicians helping you record the new album, are you planning on adding any new permanent members to State Line Mob?

We have no plans to permanently add anyone as a state line mob member. State Line Mob is a duo & will always be a duo. Our musicians who perform for us are hired guns based on availability & dates of shows we have booked. We are looking for touring musicians who would love to stay with us on a continuous ongoing basis.

Ex-Honkette JoJo Billingsley has joined you on stage on several occasions, how did you ended up working with her?

I’ve always been a huge fan of JoJo. Her background vocals stand out over the rest of the Honkettes when you listen to the early original recordings of Lynyrd Skynyrd. I was very surprised to have found her on Myspace, so I wrote her a email. I invited her to sing with us on acoustic show & to be interviewed with us broadcasting live on the radio from the 3614 Jackson Highway Recording Studio located in Muscle Shoals. We refer to the Studio as the original Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. This studio is famed for countless recordings by artist & bands especially, Lynyrd Skynyrd.

JoJo had not stepped into this building since the long ago recording sessions of when Ronnie Van Zant was the lead singer for the band, 30 years to be exact, she said. So we performed a handful of our songs from Ruckus & performed a melody arrangement of three Skynyrd songs that she had sang on & recorded there at the studio with Skynyrd, which were, Down South Jukin, Sweet Home Alabama & Cry For The Bad Man. It was a special night. JoJo personally got a ride with me in our General Lee to the Studio. That’s how we became friends. She is a very special lady.

Recording industry seems to be at turning point right now, how do you see that affecting State Line Mob?

Well with the current state of the economy everything is at a turning point right now. It has already affected State Line Mob. Worthy Labels are not signing as much & artist like us are left to defend for themselves. Creative control is a must for any recording artist as well as distribution & CD sales. But if the music isn’t getting out there like it should & being promoted main stream due to being a independent recording artist, then it’s not beneficial, at least for us in our current status.

And finally, what are your plans for this year?

Our plans are to keep moving forward promoting our Ruckus CD. We are currently signed with Nea sound booking & hope to see our fans out on the road with a ton of new shows. We are always writing new material & hope to have a new album in the works in the near future. We have a brand new website www.statelinemob.com & we invite everyone to go check it out and grab you a copy of Ruckus.

We would like to thank Phillip for his time and wish State Line Mob all the best in 2009. Remember to check out our State Line mob profile.

""Nice" Outlaws of Rock"

http://southernspirit.wordpress.com/2009/07/26/state-line-mob-i-fuorilegge-del-country-rock/


Sweet Home Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd sang in response to Neil Young in 1974 in a symbol of Southern Rock songs now passed into history and timeless, and just the sweet and controversial Alabama now presents us with a most pleasant surprise State Line Mob, a group own original music of the great state of southern United States.

Con un look e un atteggiamento accattivante e da autentici fuorilegge, una sorta di Bonnie e Clyde della musica, gli State Line Mob ci propongono un ottimo mix di Southern Rock, Country e Blues davvero interessante e piacevole riproponendo in chiave moderna tutta l'atmosfera e il sound tipicamente southern delle Swampland. With a look and an attitude of winning and authentic outlaw, a kind of Bonnie and Clyde of the music, the State Line Mob We offer an excellent mix of Southern Rock, Country and Blues really interesting and enjoyable again in modern and the ambiance sound typical of southern Swampland.

Il gruppo si forma nel 2007 grazie a Phillip e Dana Crunk , compagni anche nella vita privata, che dopo anni trascorsi a suonare in diversi gruppi decidono di formare un proprio gruppo musicale per mettere in campo direttamente tutta l'esperienza maturata e la propria passione musicale e il debutto su un palco avviene in un bar circondato da paludi e strade polverose, ripagati da mance e birre in perfetta atmosfera southern. The group formed in 2007 thanks to Phillip and Dana Crunk, comrades even in private life, after years spent playing in various groups decided to form their own group to field directly across the experience and passion music and the debut on a stage takes place in a bar surrounded by swamps and dusty roads, the payback tips and beers in a perfect southern atmosphere.

Il resto della band è formato da cinque ottimi musicisti reclutati per i primi tour e il primo album, Phillip dice che ci sarà un altro album, ma non da indizi su quando uscirà, mentre l'attuale lineup sta ancora promuovendo l'album di debutto Ruckus . The rest of the band is formed by five excellent musicians recruited for the first tour and their first album, Phillip says there will be another album, but no clue when it comes out, while the current lineup is still promoting the debut album Ruckus.

L'esordio discografico avviene nel 2008 come dicevo con ” Ruckus ” che ottiene subito eccellenti recensioni e una ottima accoglienza da critica e appassionati tanto da vincere due Muscle Shoals Music Award 2008 come migliore nuovo artista dell'anno e migliore album Country Rock , ma non bastasse questo il loro album viene definito uno dei migliori album Southern Rock da” Street Survivor ” dei Lynyrd Skynyrd . The debut record is as I said in 2008 with "Ruckus" which immediately gets excellent reviews and a good reception from critics and fans much to win two Muscle Shoals Music Award 2008 as best new artist and best album of Country Rock, but not enough that their album is called one of the best Southern Rock album by "Street Survivor" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Come detto il loro sound è un perfetto mix della migliore tradizione Country/Blues degli Stati del Sud e accanto a un ottimo reparto chitarre va sottolineato l'ottimo abbinamente delle due voci di Phillip e Dana. As I said their sound is a perfect mix of warm and Country / Blues of the Southern states and next to a very good guitar department should be noted the excellent combination of the two items of Phillip and Dana.

Una curiosità sul nome della band : State Line Mob era il nome di una organizzazione criminale che negli anni '60 e '70 operava tra Mississippi, Tennessee e Alabama dedita tra le altre cose al gioco d'azzardo illegale e al contrabbando di whiskey, ovviamente la band nega ogni affiliazione con questa organizzazione, era semplicemente un nome accattivante e che comunque rifletteva in pieno l'atteggiamento e l'atmosfera Southern. A curiosity about the band's name: State Line Mob was the name of a criminal organization that operated in the '60s and '70s including Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama among others devoted to illegal gambling and smuggling of whiskey, of course The band denies any affiliation with this organization, it was simply a catchy name and in any case fully reflects the attitude and atmosphere Southern.

In conclusione mi piacciono davvero molto, con un sound fresco e divertente e un look semplice ma carico di riferimenti alla cultura Southern, guardate il loro video e verrete coinvolti in una atmosfera davvero unica. In conclusion I really like a lot, with a fresh sound and look simple, but fun and full of references to Southern culture, watch their videos and you will be involved in a unique atmosphere.

Grazie a Phillip e Dana per il piacevole scambio di mail e le info. Thanks to Phillip and Dana for the pleasant exchange of mail and info.
