Water Liars (self-titled) - 2014 LP

The truth. Southern writer Barry Hannah, writes about being "crucifed by the truth."  In his short story "Water Liars,"  after a few too many drinks, Hannah and his wife open up about their sexual past.  The revelation of hearing his wife's sordid past is too much for the writer to bear.  He retreats to a fictional cove for a hillbilly vacation. While drinkin' beer and listening to the water liars tell their stories an older man offers a rare treat.  The truth.  He tells a story so honest and vile that the water liars shun the elder from the group.  Suddenly stories of the one that got away seem trivial. Hannah befriends the man and walks away with a new appreciation of the truth. Water Liars (the band, named after the Hannah short story) have the same devotion to the truth.  Every song, every lyric, offers the same catfish noir a great Barry Hannah novel offers.
