MALCOLM X: A COUNTRY BALLAD ABOUT A MAN WHO WOULDN'T BOW Slim Gallows and the Polyester Moonshine Syndicate
From the sawdust honky-tonks to the Audubon Ballroom, Slim Gallows and the Polyester Moonshine Syndicate deliver their most audacious record yet: a twelve-track outlaw country odyssey through the life of Malcolm X. Fiddles weep, slide guitars swagger, and horns blare their way through Omaha, Harlem, and Mecca alike, tracing a journey from "Detroit Red" to El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz with equal parts grit, reverence, and razor wit.This ain't your granddaddy's country record. It's history you can two-step to, a story too big for a textbook and just right for a steel guitar. Every track is built on the facts and polished with a wink, proving that the truth, when it's told right, sings just as hard as any outlaw ballad ever did. Slim Gallows and the Polyester Moonshine Syndicate don't just play country. They excavate it, and they make it testify.
A Country Ballad About a Man Who Wouldn't Bow. Twelve tracks. One unforgettable life.
