Biography:
The Legendary Shack Shakers' hell-for-leather roadshow has earned quite a name for itself with its unique brand of Southern Gothic that is all-at-once irreverent, revisionist, dangerous, and fun. Led by their wildly charismatic, rail-thin frontman/blues-harpist, J.D. Wilkes, the Shack Shakers are a four-man wrecking crew from the South whose explosive interpretations of the blues, punk, rock and country have made fans, critics and legions of potential converts into true believers.

"Bible, Candle, and Skull"
Am F
Bastard son of the carnival strongman,
Am E
taught to fear the white rat by his great-granddad.
Am F
Still he ain't no slouch at crammin' 'em in
Am E Am
with a bullhorn in his hand.
Am F
Formaldehyde's half empty but he tops it off
Am E7
with a bottle of burglar's wine.
Am F
They beat a blind man to death with his own damn cane
A E Am
on a jam-packed saturday night.
D
Well he's the devil's understudy, you know he's always ready
Am
to fill in in a pinch.
D7 D
Well he gon' try to be your buddy, or maybe be your honey
E F E
baby just grab an inch.
Am F
He says the grindin' wheel always gets the grease,
Am E7
though the blade is bloody and dull.
Am F
But you'll drum off flies with the greatest of ease
Am E Am
with a bible, candle, and skull, boys.
Am E Am
Bible, candle and skull.
Am E Am
B-B-B-Bible, candle and skull, boys.
Am E Am
Bible, candle and skull.
Am F
Equal parts floozy and flim-flam,
Am E
she's the ugly one in her one-woman band.
Am F
She says he ain't Mr. right, but he's Mr. right now,
Am E Am
yeah he's my presidential confidence man.
D
He's kissin' hands and shaking babies from Herkimer to Hades,
Am
with his third-place trophy bride.
D
Plantin' seeds of deception like a kudzu weed
E F E
just hold it out, drop it, and run for your life!
Am F
Well even a two-headed fetus outta have a good home,
Am Em
not in the trunk where jumper cables belong.
Am F
But that's just that kind of thing that'll set you off,
Am E Am
resist his bible, candle and skull, boys.
Am E Am
Bible, candle and skull.

B-B-B-Bible, candle and skull, boys.
Am E Am
Bible, candle and skull.
Am F
Well the candle's snuffed and there's nothing left
Am E
in the spotlight but bugs and bats.
Am F
He took his one-drop rule complimentary mule
Am E Am
and a dirt road to Arkansas,
Am E Am E Am
to his hometown of Hope at last!
