	16 Horsepower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		16 Horsepower were an alternative/traditional musical group based in Denver, Colorado.
		One instrument that was paramount during the nascent days of 16 Horsepower was the Chemnitzer concertina.
		It has been quite difficult for critics to assess 16 Horsepower due to the wide range of sounds they were able to produce during their brief career.

		This is a typical 16 horsepower lyric and while the music is often dark as in this song they always manage to be uplifting rather than deppressing, perhaps because of the strong christian faith and hope of salvation wich lie at the core of David Eugene Edward's song writing.
		16 Horsepower seems to appeal to as many non-christians as christians and this testifies to the power of Edwards music and lyrics they appeal to me because of the strenght in his belief and the beautiful and longing fealing of his music even though I don't share his conviction.
		All 16 Horsepower's albums so far have been great but this one might be a good introduction to them as it's short has mostly great songs and can be found cheap.

	16 Horsepower Album Reviews
		16 Horsepower's doom-laden take on roots music earned them a spot in both alt country and alternative rock, and turned them into one of the most original bands to emerge in the mid-90's.
		It's not that easy to describe 16 Horsepower's music, as their sound, despite being indebted to several genres such as country, folk, bluegrass and rock, defies clear categorization.
		Certainly an acquired taste, 16 Horsepower's rewarding debut EP immediately established them as one of the most remarkable outfits in 90's rock, led by the quirky but convincing charisma of David Eugene Edwards, a man as dedicated as they come.

		Compositions such as "Black Soul Wire" (apt to be the first single from 16 Horsepower's A&M debut) have a life of their own because Edwards, Soll and Tola have infused them with a significant portion of theirs.
		Such a description makes 16 Horsepower sound inaccessible, which it clearly is not: In around two years of life, the act has become one of the top local draws in the Denver-Boulder area.
		During a get-together last year, Ferbrache forwarded a 16 Horsepower demo, and Fraser was so impressed that he got in touch with Jeff Suhi, who works in the artists-and-repertoire department at A&M. Suhi was just as floored by the cassette--so much so that he flew to Denver to catch 16 Horsepower live.

	Metroactive Music \| 16 Horsepower
		Sonically, 16 Horsepower is a pleasingly scary-sounding outfit, full of furiously vitriolic melodies and startling imagery.
		The only thing is, "effect" is the right word for it, because despite 16 Horsepower's hickoid instrumentation and folksy tempos, Low Estate has about as much in common with both folk and the kind of Nashville country characterized by Reba McEntire and Garth Brooks as ska, punk or opera.
		Indeed, 16 Horsepower's point of view isn't unique nor is the band going to shake the souls of either the believers or the unbelievers among us.

	16 Horsepower: Olden - PopMatters Music Review
		16 Horsepower mastermind David Eugene Edwards spent much of his childhood on the road with his grandfather, a Nazarene minister, travelling from town to town preaching old time religion.
		The 16 Horsepower sound relies heavily on the bandoneon (an archaic, button-covered accordion), banjo, and a guitar style that veers back and forth between eerie slide work and slack-key wooziness.
		The high point of 16 Horsepower's journey so far is last year's Folklore, a sombre, brooding disk that seemed to encapsulate everything Edwards had been working towards.

		Keyboard player and guitarist Steven Taylor has left the band and the remaining three 16 Horsepower members have promptly banned loud guitars from their new album.
		For Folklore 16 Horsepower has picked four original compositions and six pieces of work by unfamiliar authors of music.
		With Folklore, 16 Horsepower continues to produce music that is distinctly their own, while growing and moving in new and exciting directions.

		(A&M) 16 Horsepower hail from Denver, a city founded during the Colorado gold rush - evidently an era of inspiration for the enigmatic trio.
		Diligently obsessed with the concept of sounding dated, 16 Horsepower perform songs that are dark and emotive.
		In keeping with the hillbilly punk rock esthetic, 16 Horsepower have fuzed modern aspects into their music.

	16 Horsepower Reviews
		Sixteen Horsepower's singer David Eugene Edwards brings such a mix of vitriol and faith to his music that were he born in a different place and time, I imagine he could have been a snake preacher.
		Since their start in the early '90s, 16 Horsepower have created and perfected a sound that's build around a fascinating, elegiac pulse.
		With its use of banjo, accordion, lap steel, and stand-up bass and its songs about creaking pine porches, shallow graves, prison shoes, and big horses, Sixteen Horsepower would seem to be drawing from the same ancient wells of Americana as the Band.

	Twangzine - 16 Horsepower
		I've been following 16 Hp from the time of their first full length release 'Sackcloth and Ashes' in 1996, when they were still essentially a local Denver band.
		I've read a number of reviews of 16 Hp from all sorts of different publications and to date really no one seems to know what to make of them, exactly.
		Indie rockers take them for hicks, and hard-core country fans are as often as not put off by their electric edge and dark sensibilities.

		The views and opinions of David Edwards, Pascal Humbert and Jean-Yves Tola as individuals are not necessarily the ones of 16 Horsepower.
		It is with some regrets but also with confidence that we, 16 Horsepower, have decided to end our journey as a band.

		Anyone who has seen 16 Horsepower live knows how intense and riveting their performance can be.
		Though 16 Horsepower have no "hits" in the money-driven, radio sense of the word, this disc is loaded with much of their best material: Brimstone Rock, Black Soul Choir, Low Estate, American Wheeze and others are given full-throttle treatment.
		On "Hoarse", 16 Horsepower prove no less formidable in this respect: versions of songs by Joy Division, The Gun Club, and Creedence Clearwater Revival are indications of the band's diverse influences.

		Fueled by spiritual introspection bordering on madness and Civil War-era musical sensibilities, 16 Horsepower strike a sound somewhere between a death-march dirge and a backwoods barn dance.
		Hoarse, culled from live performances in Denver and Paris, is 16 Horsepower getting face to face with their fans, squeezing out every bit of passion and dread along the way.

		Denver's 16 Horsepower has to be one of the greatest American bands of the day.

	REVIEW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		The instrumentation is fascinating, a sorta proto-retro-psycho-honky-tonk that's performed mostly on vintage instruments, including bandoneon (an old accordion-like instrument that creates an eerie ambiance for many of the tracks), banjo, cello and fiddle, along with the more usual (today) bass, guitar and drums.
		I've experienced 16 Horsepower live, and they're well worth seeing when they come your way later this year.
		As this music doesn't fit easily into any of the radio/media categories that usually expose new music today, it may be hard for them to find their niche.

	New West Network \| 16 Horsepower Breaks Up
		In a new interview, Jean-Yves Tola hints that the breakup was in part attributable to a disagreement over Edwards’ increasing reliance on religious content in 16 Horsepower songs.
		Fans wanting to relive the legacy of 16 Horsepower can pick up a copy of 16HP, a double DVD featuring live concert footage and interviews that Smooch Records recently released.
		16 Horsepower was a treasure: Its music delved the West’s heart of darkness for over a decade, and its contributions to the Denver music scene will be missed.

	Splendid: Features: Woven Hand
		David Eugene Edwards, frontman of 16 Horsepower and Woven Hand, faces a conundrum.
		Though his lyrics are often riven with questioning and doubt, he seems, in person, to be exceptionally calm and sure of himself, his art and his beliefs.
		I recently spoke to Edwards about his new Woven Hand album, his collaboration with the Belgian dance company Blush, 16 Horsepower's temporary hiatus and the way that religion shapes his dark, beautiful songs.

		Consisting of two parts early demos and one part early live tracks, the album is intended for devout fans, but also serves as a fair introduction to a unique sounding band.
		16 Horsepower's audience is primarily secular, yet many of its lyrics are inspired by Scripture.
		Some might see 16 Horsepower's music as weird and bizarre, or as a truly innovative spin on traditional gospel and spirituals.

		16 Horsepower (David Eugene Edwards - vocals, concertina, guitar, banjo, hurdy-gurdy; Jean-Yves Tola - drums, piano; Stephen Taylor - lead guitar; Pascal Humbert - stand-up bass) have built up a huge fan base in America and Europe since their inception in the early '90s.
		A combination of traditional and electric instruments with David Eugene Edwards' passionate, ghostly John Fogerty-meets-Bono tenor as the whip that urges the band forward, 16 Horsepower takes the listener into the eye of a hurricane just before the sun dares to peek through an angry sky.
		Add a dash of Dylanesque roots-philosophy and the result is a forlorn dustbowl saloon bar where Nick Cave woefully sinks bourbons with the Gun Club only moments after a loved one's funeral parade.

	I'm no expert, but...16 Horsepower's lyrics and music disgust reviewer - Entertainment
		16 Horsepower's 1996 release, Sackcloth 'n' Ashes, was certainly an interesting listen.
		The CD, comprised of thirteen songs, is a blend of folk, country, and goth.
		Given the objectionable content in this release, I am not convinced that 16 Horsepower should be labeled a Christian band.

	MetroActive Music \| 16 Horsepower
		16 Horsepower is the latest great American act to deliver up folk-tinged alternative country-rock with a very, very, damaged core, as evidenced on the band's newly released Low Estate (AandM).
		This is picking and a grinning with a vengeance; the mandolin never sounded quite so mean as it does on "Brimstone Rock," the opening track.
		Edwards' voice is weird and jumpy, very close in spirit and timbre to that of the Ass Ponies' Chuck Cleaver; moreover, Edwards neatly mixes biblical words like "ye," "hath," and "beseech" with redneck vernacular, delivering lines like "that little Jesus freak needed a good ass clockin'" with great effect.

		But Denver's 16 Horsepower, the brainchild of David Eugene Edwards, is a rather unusual case.
		Sixteen Horsepower's themes are redemption and sin, temptation and fear.
		Edwards is a true believer, and when he sings, he calls up ghosts: men at the mercy of fate and God, men of "low estate" who always have the devil close at their heels.

		16 of the tracks made it to later albums and only two songs "Train Serenade" and "Slow Guilt Trot" make their debut here.
		While many would consider this an unnecessary, redundant release, it is actually superior in many ways to the major label versions that would appear later.
		Sixteen Horsepower are an amazing band because they play a type of music unlike any other band.
