Th' Legendary Shack Shakers (originally Those, now Th' or The) are an American punk blues band. They are inspired by punk, Texas polka, Delta blues, rockabilly, gothic rock, and other traditional Southern music genres, formed in Paducah, Kentucky in the mid 1990's. The band originally had a more traditional rockabilly sound, but later moved away from this and now relies more on its rock and hillbilly influences. Founding member Col. J.D. Wilkes is the band's vocalist and also plays the harmonica. Musical maverick JoeBuck joined the band in the early 21st Century and played all the upright bass, guitars, and drums on the group's 2003 release, Cock-A-Doodle-Don't. Wilkes is noted for his wild stage antics, which have been compared to those of Iggy Pop, David Byrne, and Jerry Lee Lewis. JoeBuck left the band in late 2003 and began touring and recording with Hank Williams III. Duane Denison, former member of The Jesus Lizard (and Hank Williams III) currently plays guitar for the band.
