You don't hear a bass's voice, you feel it...

Holy crap! God? Izzat you?

That bassist's speaking voice is hilariously creepy...

My Grandpa first introduced me to the Chanticleers year before last on a Thanksgiving trip to a lodge in Nebraska City, Nebraska. I'm a younger guy with a broad taste in music, but these guys flat out gave me the chills. Raw, wholesome, powerful music. Thanks for sharing!

It must be the Christmas season, because I feel compelled to load my quicklist with the wonderful sounds of Chanticleer. Merry Christmas to all!
