Eric Bachmann of Archers is one of my favorite songwriters because he always puts at least one great mid-tempo epic type song (like White Trash Heroes] on each album. Here are more examples of these epics from his different bands below.
Crooked Fingers - Here Come The Snakes Eerie finger-picked acoustic.
Archers Of Loaf - Greatest of All Time Old school punk.
Archers Of Loaf - Chumming The Ocean Piano ballad about feeding sharks?
Barry Black - Golden Throat Noisy lo-fi banjo.
Crooked Fingers - You Can Never Leave Acoustic with string section.
His first band Archers Of Loaf are very highly regarded by music critics.
The first Archers album got a 94% on Metacritic and the second, Vee Vee has a 86%.
