The Geezinslaw Brothers (aka Sammy Allred and Dewayne "Son" Smith...) can plausibly lay claim to being the great-grandaddies of the Austin indiebilly scene: this comedy-oriented duo started performing in the 1950s, had a good run in the '60s performing on TV variety shows and cutting several albums. They resurfaced in the late '70s during the height of the "outlaw" scene, cutting one great record for Willie Nelson's short-lived Lone Star label, and have been making albums and and off ever since then... Here's a quick look at these clown princes of Texas country...
