Golden Delicious (band)
Band from Portland, Oregon, U.S. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Golden Delicious were a Portland, Oregon-based band active in the mid- and late-1990s. Their members included, at various times, Pete Krebs (guitar), Kevin Richey (banjo), Paul Bassett (washboard), Marilee Hord (fiddle), Jesse Spero (drums), and David Reisch (bass).[1] Their music has been described as country,[1] bluegrass,[2] and having "a punk rock energy and a slightly irreverent attitude."[1] David Goodman wrote in Modern Twang that the band "combines the spirited new old-time style of groups like the Highwoods String Band or the Freight Hoppers with the madcap attitude of the Holy Modal Rounders."[3] Hord told No Depression that the band did not like when they were labeled as a specific genre like "alt-country", saying, "When you categorize music, you degrade it."[4] The band released their debut album, Old School, on Cavity Search Records in 1997.[5]
