       Love and Respect
Many of you have heard the pop
music marketing term, "Hick Hop,"
by now. Let me be completely
unequivocal in saying that the
term, the concept, and the
experiments in blending hip hop
loops with country music began
right here with Mary Carves the
Chicken. Make no mistake in
supposing otherwise. This is the
real deal.

Mary Carves the Chicken, largely due to the presence of Page Jackson,
has always made some forays into country music. Somehow, Page found
himself living in Oakland, California, playing country, cow punk, southern
rock, blues, and New Orleans funk and soul in the local clubs. Eventually,
the Texan, living in Oakland, the home of underground hip hop, began
laying down bass lines for local rap artists. Jackson became interested in
the idea of bumping country music and southern rock to hip hop beats.
Let's face it: When you grow up in Texas, you are exposed to a wide range
of musical influences. Sometimes they all start to blend together, as has
always been the tradition in Mary Carves the Chicken.

The lineup of Mary Carves the Chicken changed during the recording of
Double Wide. For starters, as though guitarist Bob Sherden were not
enough for any two bands, Page also recruited Bay Area guitar
phenomenon, John Baker. With Baker and Sherden in the band, the live
shows became musically large. Dueling guitars became the signature
sound of the band, which began playing shows in both northern and
southern California.

Recorded in an empty house under the BART tracks, the record came
together organically, incorporating live drums and instruments, beefed up
with dance and hip hop loops. Simply put, if you crank this record up, it
bumps. Bump it!

Mary Carves the Chicken/Double Wide is:

Page Jackson: lead and backing vocals; bass guitar, percussion, guitar
Bob Sherden: lead and rhythm guitars, backing vocals
John Baker: lead and rhythm guitars; lead and backing vocals
David Rhinesmith: Drums, backing vocals
