BUSHWHACKERS Keep Whacking the Bush

St. Augustine, Florida (PRWEB) August 24, 2006

St. Augustine based songwriter/manager/guitarist Rick Levy has spent six years listening to President George W Bush. He finally snapped and wrote a song, then he wrote more songs.

Directed at No. 1 Good-Ol' boy himself, George "Dubya" Bush, The Bushwhackers is the twisted brainchild of Levy, and a real paradox. The music on this EP, "Beatin Round the Bush" (Luxury/Lightyear/Distributed by WEA) is traditional country which is usually associated with more conservative right wing politics. The lyrics are exactly the opposite. This is a funny, yet potent mix.

Nashville guru critic, Robert Oermann says of the single, "He Swapped the Bottle for the Bible. This anti-Bush ditty suggests that if Georgie had kept on getting plastered, maybe the world would be a better place today. Well produced and catchy."

"Beatin Round the Bush" will certainly ruffle conservative feathers because the truth hurts, even in a beer-swillin, 'knee-slappin' kinda way. It's a politically incorrect, irreverent musical trip into Dubya's world.

Rick Levy has carved out a nice career for himself as musical director for such 60's legends as Tommy Roe and Jay & the Techniques. He also manages the Box Tops, and was bandleader for Herman's Hermits. Levy's latest project, The Bushwhackers has the White House directly in the crosshairs.

There is a hilarious flash animation internet promotion for "He Swapped the Bottle for the Bible." Other titles include: "Buckshot Dick," "The Daughters Love to Drink," "Party Boy," "He's A Puppet," and "Never Saw No Weapons." Go to
