The Boondocks

Anthony Toner (vocals, electric, acoustic and lapsteel guitar), Mark Crockard (vocals and acoustic guitar) and Marcus McAuley (acoustic guitar and mandolin) have come together as ‘The Boondocks’ to play the old school country songs they love.

We’re talking classics like, ‘I’m so lonesome I could cry’, ‘Witchita Lineman’, ‘Love Hurts’, ‘Always on my mind’, ‘Help me make it through the night’, ‘Brass Buttons’, the list goes on…

These timeless classics by Hank Williams, Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson et al have built the foundations of country music and the craft of great songwriting. Bearing little resemblance to the so-called country music of today, classic country tends towards the big emotions: tortured romance, despair, hard work, yet more heartbreak and hard-won truths.

Beautiful melodies, touching words, soaring harmonies and intricate solos are the core of great country music. Its musically closer to it roots in bluegrass than the pop music that today’s country artists are producing.
