Bluegrass band Big Richard makes music for the 21st century’s twisted cultural unease.
Their latest album Pet, is a fierce, provocative, rejoinder to what troubles them and the world right now, which was recorded live to tape in order to capture the fervor of their live shows.
Unapologetically outrageous and provocative, the band’s name is a wink to the ‘big dick’ energy Big Richard is reclaiming from male bluegrass bands. They’re intent on making audiences laugh and feel a little uncomfortable, for the sake of making them think, as well. To that end, the album’s cover portrays the band dressed in deranged clown outfits and crouching on railroad tracks in front of an oil refinery. And its title track “Pet,” delivered like a slightly demented circus sound track and written by Adams, is a rich paean for the people society too often lets fall through the cracks.
