Nashville duo Betty Dylan may just be on to something, a way to save alt country from itself by politicizing it in a way hinted at by Steve Earle and a few others: Hippies and Rednecks Unite! The husband and wife team of Dan and Vickie Dubelman, ... play Uncle P's Friday behind their startling new disc, Abdicate the Throne. The pair kick the recording off with "The Star Spangled Banner" and proceed to bracket the title track (a blunt and blatant call for impeachment of the boss) and nine other originals with a snarling closing cover of that other Dylan's "Masters of War." No less a personage than the eminent veteran New York DJ Vin Scelsa heralded the band on a recent "Air America" broadcast. The group is a dark and shambling throwback to the Crazy Horse of the early '70s (among other groups), and as an added plus they feature Lexington-based drummer Tim Welch, one of the best groove-oriented rock drummers in the Midwest. They proudly note that they've been banned from ever again playing at Nashville's storied and oh-so-correct singer-songwriter hellhole, the Bluebird. That is its own high praise. -Paul Kopasz LeoWeekly.com
