Roughian [ruff-eee-an] adjective
1. Not played on "country" radio
2. Gritty, real, with pain
3. Usually involving booze and guns
4. See also Chris Knight and Drag the River
Been listening to Chris Knight's Trailer Tapes. Raw and beautiful. This is Knight at his best. Also picked up Drag the River's entire collection from Suburban Home Records. Been wearing 'em out. Just pure heart driven country with heavy doses of pedal steel. We highly recommend picking their stuff up. Especially now that they have disbanded.
