about

Daddy Was a Bank Robber, the band’s eighth album, is their most personal -- and present tense -- release to date, with original music by the 48s (including two songs from the band’s newest member, Mike Hedding) and a handful of covers that represent a musical snapshot of the band's (very eclectic) record collections, including songs by alt-rock great Robbie Fulks (Goodbye Virginia), bluegrass maverick John Hartford (Long Hot Summer Days), blues singer/guitarist Little Milton (Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson) and the Clash (Bankrobber).
