Regular readers of DC9 and regular drinkers at just about any North Texas honky-tonk are likely familiar with Grant Jones & The Pistol Grip Lassos by now.
Between celebrating a great victory in the 2009 Shiner Rising Star Contest (where they won a recording contract) and suffering unimaginable loss when their spiritual leader and bass player, Ace McNeely, passed away, this is a band that's far more resilient than many of the down-and-out characters that inhabit Jones' tales of drink, depression, drugs and deeds-done-wrong.
