The Chicken Chokers: 07
Posted January 28th, 2008 by dadmin
When we regrouped on December 9, 2006 for a gig in Trumansburg NY at the Pourhouse we hadn't all played together since 1993. It was a blast. We soon decided to get together again to record a cd. This cd was recorded January 12-14 2007 over at Chad's studio the Musictank. It's mostly traditional favorites that we've been playing for years, with a few new words thrown in.

Chad Crumm - Swimming Hole
Posted January 28th, 2008 by dadmin"Swimming Hole" was written and recorded by Chad Crumm at his studio (the
Music Tank), located just outside of Trumansburg, New York, home of the
Finger Lakes Grass Roots Festival of Music and Dance. The material is a
departure from any previous recorded effort by Chad. "Swimming Hole" makes
ample use of ambient noise, software synths, samplers, static loops, pitch
shifting, usual and unusual acoustic resources and today's state of the
art studio technology. Despite a busy patchwork of tonal color, rhythm and

**** Old-time instrumentation, a pseudo-punk bad attitude, and a hilarious title-track rap from this short-lived but fun band from Boston. -Mark A. Humphrey, All Music Guide to Country: The Definitive Guide to Country Music, 2003, p. 143
An LP The Chicken Chokers recorded on Rounder Records, released in 1987. It includes several originals by Chip and Chad, and 'Watertrain', written by Michael Hurley. This is very hard to find, since very few of these LPs were made.
