The Yawpers - Boy in a Well (New CD)

2017 release. The Yawpers third album, Boy in a Well, sounds like Alan Lomax using his field recorder to capture Mance Lipscomb ripping a laced joint with the Cramps and strapping on their instruments to let it fly. It”s a complex concept album – manically conceived, historically situated, emotionally underscored and set in a plot-driven fictive universe. It”s demented, unpredictable, taboo, ambitious, and yet distinctively cohesive. The Yawpers are a rock ”n” roll trio from Denver, Colorado. Their name is derived from a Walt Whitman poem, entitled “”Song of Myself””: “”I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.”” The Yawpers play in a unique setting of two acoustic guitar players and drummer, yet their music is played with “”raucous glee comparable to seeing a metal band””.
