Background notes

Archive material and source history

A Sideways Hank O'Malley and The Alabama Bottle Boys formed in Nashville in the late 1990s. The group included Hank O'Malley on vocals and guitar, fiddler James "JW" Wilson, bassist Dave "Davy" Jones, and drummer "Crazy" Jake Bradtke. They were known for a rough-edged sound that mixed country with elements of honky-tonk and punk rock.

Their 2004 album "Broke Leg Lou" featured the song "The Ballad of Chapped Lips Calhoun," which became something of an anthem for their fans. The band's live shows had a reputation for being loud and rowdy, and their lyrics often leaned toward the bawdy and humorous.

They put out several more albums over the next decade, including "Armchair in a Motel" in 2006, "The National Bully" in 2009, and "Jesus Time" in 2012. Their music drew from writers like Charles Bukowski and Hunter S. Thompson as much as from musical influences.
