Their first of three recordings of the song; this one, "Stack O Lee" - 2000 and "Stack O Lee" - 2003.

The Bassholes, a garage blues duo formed by guitarist and vocalist Don Howland and drummer Rich Lillash, released their debut album, Blue Roots, in 1992. This album features their rendition of the traditional folk song "Stack O' Lee and Billy Lyons."

The track showcases the Bassholes' raw and energetic style, blending garage rock with deep blues influences. Their interpretation maintains the narrative essence of the original folk tale while infusing it with a gritty, lo-fi aesthetic characteristic of their music.
