25995 fans

The music of 16 Horsepower, associated with the rock scene in Denver, Colorado, was steered from the early 1990s and for over a decade by guitarist and singer David Eugene Edwards. It flirts with everything that North America has to offer in the way of root music: bluegrass, blues, country, gospel and electric rock. Incandescent lyrics inspired by the fables of the American West and the Bible have given this band a strong identity, expressed on a handful of essential albums from Sackcloth 'N' Ashes (1997) to Folklore (2002), including the live Hoarses (2001).
