Chris D from the early LA punk group The Flesh Eaters went on to perform in the group Divine Horseman.
This is another classic example of taking a more traditional folk/country style of music and fusing it with punk rock, along the lines of Tex And The Horseheads and The Gun Club.
Indeed on the first album, which tends to feature guest musicians rather than a regular line-up, Jeffery Lee Pierce (Gun Club) and Texacala Jones (Tex & The Horseheads) are both present as well as other famous names like Kid Congo Powers (Cramps, Gun Club), John Doe (X) and Dave Alvin (Blasters).
At times this also reminds me a bit of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, with a kind of Southern Gothic atmosphere to the music and lyrics.
