Here's some of our top four favorite song/album titles:
- Too Much Pork For Just One Fork
- Ditch Diggin'
- Plastic Seat Sweat
- Liquored Up and Lacquered Down
Here's what the band says about themselves: "[we've] always embodied a sleazy, raucous, good-natured, good-time take on the culture of the South."
Now Southern Culture is going high brow in a new curated exhibit,
Think instruments, photos, posters and recordings from deep in the band's archive - dug up, freshened up and shared by the Southern Folklife Collection.
SCOTS dropped by the ¹ÏÉñapp studios to chat with Morning Edition's Eric Hodge:
will be on display on the 4th floor of Wilson Library through Aug. 29, 2014. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
