[Edit]

Alabama’s Pine Hill Haints ain’t afraid of no silly old ghosts (which is what a haint is, after all), hillbilly banjos, or covering classics by revered artists such as Woody Guthrie (they whoop it up on “The Ranger’s Command”). After more than a decade together, Jamie Barrier and his bandmates (one of whom is wife Katie on washboard, saw and mandolin) sound more confident than ever in fusing their unique blend of bluegrass, folk and Americana to music rooted in other cultures.  To Win Or Lose is delightfully full-bodied and multi-textured, lively and engaging. From the steam engine fervor of “Intro” and “Not So Lucky,” to the Calypso plunkings of “Borello Blackwindow” and the mandolin-fiddle hoedown of “How Much Poison,” this collection is sure to win over legions of new fans, even those who feel queasy when they hear commercial “country” music. Yeah, that’s a wayward reggae riddim on “Scar,” a Cajun patois on "Je Passe Devant Ta Porte,” and the spirit of Jon Langford & the Mekons wafts through the two-step worthy “Never Cry.”  What could be more fun?
