    Just who is Shinyribs? It’s a sprawling nine, sometimes 10-piece cast, but ultimately it is the funky brainchild of Kevin Russell, who grew up in Beaumont, TX and Shreveport, LA, the cradle of the swamp pop and bayou R&B sounds that drip off his fingers like honey and hot sauce. Think Gulf Coast meets Muscle Shoals with strong pop-song structures.

lyrics

Alphabeta let ya letter hang down
Let your C see the jewel in her crown
If a B don't buzz ya know
It's because there ain't no butter for her bowl
Alphabeta let a letter hang low

Let ya F get together with a K
Let your H hang out with J
Let your Z zig zag some more
But don't your D hit ya G in the door
Alphabeta let a letter get away

I'm not talking about rain in Spain
High score on a scrabble game
I'm talking bout the alphabet
Curly Q's on the line
Writing letters to a friend of mine
Alphabeta you better you bet

Uh, come on
If a W comes in with U don't ask why
Tell'em you can't spell alimony without an I
LMNOP Sippin' that Texas T
Alphabeta you better put on a sweater for me
Alphabeta you better put on a sweater for me
Alphabeta you better put on a sweater
Alphabeta you better put on a sweater for me
