Apart from a great selection of songs from the bands' alltime classics \"Low Estate\" and \"Sackcloth'n'Ashes\" they play three cover-versions that will make your jaw drop: \"Bad Moon Rising\" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, \"Fire Spirit\" by The Gun Club and a mega-intense \"Day Of The Lords\" by Joy Divison. If you've seen the band live on stage you'll know the magic of a 16 Horsepower show. \u003ci\u003eHoarse \u003c\/i\u003eis one of these rare live albums catching moments in its power and intensity.

This cross-pollination pioneered a genre-defying substyle variously labeled “gothic country,” “gothic Americana,” and, within Denver’s fertile 1990s alternative scene, “The Denver Sound”. With a core trio of David Eugene Edwards , Jean Yves Tola and Pascal Humbert consistently at the helm, a shifting cast of collaborators, and a restless drive to push boundaries, they left behind an unmistakable sonic and thematic fingerprint. Whether channeling fire-and-brimstone sermons, haunted ballads, or folk standards reimagined through a modern, tormented lens, 16 Horsepower forged a body of work that is both intimately American and universally gothic in its vision. ‘Olden’ marks the return of one of 16 Horsepower’s most important early works. The collection brings together the band’s first two studio sessions from 1993–94 and showcases them at their rawest and most intense. Classics such as ‘American Wheeze’, ‘South Pennsylvania Waltz’ and ‘I Seen What I Saw’ appear here in their original, untamed versions and are complemented by rare, previously unreleased recordings.
