Recordings by the Band formerly known as Red Mountain White Trash*
(*It was a joke,
referring to the fact that the band was founded when we all lived near
each other on Red Mountain which Wikipedia describes as "one of
Birmingham's most prominent upscale neighborhoods. It is home to the
majority of the multi-million dollar residences and estates that are
located within the city proper. "
