Q:
"Is Okkervil River an 'alt-country' band?"
A:
Okkervil River is not an "alt-country" band, an "Americana" band, or a "roots-rock" band.
We have never heard an "Uncle Tupelo" song. We have never read an issue of "No Depression." We own no cowboy hats
or Western shirts. We own no CDs by
Gram Parsons. We have never line-danced, scooted our boots, or cheated on our wives or girlfriends. We are from
New England.
