Groupe
Country Rock US
formé en 1998 à Huntsville (Alabama).
Taking
inspiration from roots music and Southern tales of the supernatural, the Pine
Hill Haints play a self-described style of "Alabama ghost country" that touches
upon honky tonk, rockabilly, folk, and bluegrass. As a child, Jamie Barrier (Vocals,
guitar) often joined his grandfather in attending local hootenannies, where he
was exposed to the musical traditions of his native Alabama. Later, Barrier
honed his own voice by singing in a graveyard — the Pine Hill Cemetery — and
formed the raucous rockabilly outfit the Wednesdays while still in elementary
school. The Wednesdays would go on to release several albums in the 2000s, but
Barrier nevertheless formed the Pine Hill Haints in 1998 as a second (and
considerably different) project, piecing together a revolving lineup that
ultimately solidified around core members Matt Bakula (washtub bass, banjo), Ben
Rhyne (snare drum), and Jamie's wife, Katie Barrier (washboard, mandolin). The
band issued its earliest recordings (three full-lengths, a 12" vinyl, and
several split albums) on Barrier's own Arkam Records before attracting attention
from K Records' founder Calvin Johnson, who recorded the band's next release —
You Bury Your Hate in a Shallow Grave — for free. The disc was released
on Portland's LELP label, as was the band's follow-up EP, Pine Hill Haints
Meet Clampitt, Gaddis & Buck. While the Pine Hill Haints retreated back to
Arkam for 2005's Those Who Wander, they were subsequently picked up by K
Records and released Ghost Dance, an eclectic album of 20 lo-fi songs, in
November 2007.
One year later, the band retreated to Florence, Alabama, to record at the Black
Owl Trading Co. The resulting record, To Win or to Lose, marked the Haints'
second release for K Records in summer 2009. The band continued their prolific
streak, working on more albums for K with 2011's Welcome to the Midnight Opry
and 2014's The Magik Sounds of the Pine Hill Haints, along with various lesser
releases in the years between. More touring also ensued, including a run through
Japan scheduled for the fall of 2014.
