A shot of Bourbon with The Bottom Sop [Music]
The Bottom Sophttp://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Bottom-Sop/197747156905354 is similar to a fine straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey, smooth with a bite. The sound of traditional country music returns leaving the glam pop of Nashville in the dust. They are breathing fresh air into an old-time sound.
