"Primitive, crazed but surprisingly powerful
spiritual blues
Dad Horse Ottn is the slightly touched, more primitive country cousin of David Eugene Edwards. He plays (using the word in its broadest sense) banjo and kazoo and sings twisted gothic country
with something of a religious bent. But, and it’s an important but, he has a sense of humour, evidenced on “Lord Must Fix My Soul”, the third cousin of Warren Zevon’s “Excitable Boy” and the
laconic narrator of “Find My Body Down.” Elsewhere the redemption of “Through the Hole” contrasts with his bleak take on “Were You There (When They Crucified my Lord”). Outsider music at its most
extreme, this German band could teach its Americana musical cousins a thing or three about dark and dirty music." (Americana-UK)
