There’s always three sides to the story in Virginia There’s always three sides to the story in Virginia Well he’s a big ol’ mossy grass move on And he won’t miss ya…. And she’s a high class missus give ya kisses Pick up and leave ya…. Cutie pie day dream bleeder Honky tonk memory believer Scootin’ through this town with a fever Heart achy breaky mind like a cleaver There’s always three sides to the story in Virginia There’s always three sides to the story in Virginia Bootlicker mother of a fucker Thunder dealin hecker of a wrecker Bootlicker mother of a fucker Thunder dealin hecker of a wrecker Dynamite will blow you through the water He’s a booger man critter from the river Better watch out with them eyes it’ll get ya.. Better watch out with them eyes it’ll get ya..

about

RAIC or the Richmond Avant Improv Collective present their tenth album titled Gestalt. The core group comprising Samuel Goff, Abdul-Hakim Bilal, Erik Schroeder, Zoe Olivia Kinney and Laura Marina join forces with 17 guest musicians to create an epic album spanning divergent genres. Similar in nature to their previous genre hopping opus Multiplicity the collective puts their improv spin on big band free jazz blowouts, noise, funk, goth rock, old time country, avant garde, film music and jazz. Over two years in the making and clocking in at 72 minutes, with 22 musicians spanning 11 songs, this is may be the group’s most ambitious project yet.

Why did an Avant Improv Collective decide to do a written composition in the style of old time country music? Basically because we fucking wanted to.
