THIN WHITE ROPE
West Coast alt-rockers whose “desert rock” sound featured twin guitars and a hint of twisted psychedelia.
Thin White Rope was founded in Davis, California in 1984. Although the time and place
of their formation aligned them with both the Paisley Underground and roots rock movements,
the group quickly staked out its own musical territory, divining their own unique brand
of dark, surreal, desert rock. Thin White Rope was led by singer/guitarist Guy Kyser,
whose harsh, tightly coiled vocals and unsettling lyrics combined to give the band its edge;
in the group's first incarnation, Kyser was joined by guitarist Roger Kunkel,
bassist Kevin Staydohar (soon replaced by Steven Tesluk), and drummer Jozef Becker.

Sack Full of Silver is, in many ways, one of Thin White Rope's most fully realized sets, blending the group's early alt-psychedelic
influences and a growing taste for dusty Americana flavors. Having completed a 16-date tour of the Soviet Union, the group
collected covers of Marty Robbins, Lee Hazlewood, and others for the Red Sun EP, followed shortly by this batch of originals
penned during the trip overseas. Like all Thin White Rope releases, Sack Full of Silver is defined by the voice of Guy Kyser:
the aural equivalent of the flat, parched, endless landscape his characters seem to inhabit. Sobering realizations,
like dead ends, await them around every corner. In an environment where failure, desperation, and hopelessness are
common currency, adding up one's losses and moving on feels like a great victory.
Sack Full of Silver remains as fine an introduction to Kyser's vision as any ...(AllMusic)
