Barley Scotch is on lead vocals, fiddle and guitar. The Reverend Don-Wayne Reno is on banjo, Deacon Dale Reno is on mandolin and guitar and Jake 'Bakesnake' Byers is on acoustic bass. Hayseed Dixie are an awesome live band, who have, to date, released 9 albums. The latest, 'Killer Grass' was released in 2010. A live DVD entitled 'No Sleep 'til Liverpool' is also available.
Songs by artists such as Kiss, Outkast, Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith get the Rockgrass treatment, but the band play original songs too. - numbers such as 'Moonshiner's Daughter', 'Kirby Hill' and 'Blind Beggar Breakdown' raise the roof at live shows. Hayseed Dixie songs cover the four key elements of any song worth playing; - Drinkin', Cheatin', Killin' and Hell! - The band also recorded an album of rocked-up bluegrass classics, called '*Choose Your Own Title' using the name The Kerosene Brothers.
Brothers Dale Reno and Don--Wayne Reno are the sons of bluegrass maestro Don Reno, who wrote many hits, including 'Dueling Banjos', and the band even once played at a house-warming party for AC/DC bass player Cliff Williams.
Beware of instrumental cover tracks mis-tagged as 'Hayseed Dixie'! (often from the 'Pickin' On...' series of albums.)... as Barley Scotch has said, "If a song's got word's we'll sing 'em!" - A full list of albums and tracks can be found at the band's website.
Hayseed Dixie also perform under the name Kerosene Brothers

Hayseed Dixie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See Caroline
All the guys would say she's mighty fine (mighty fine)
But mighty fine only got you somewhere half the time
And the other half either got you cussed out, or coming up short
Yeah, dig this now, even though (even though)
You'd need a golden calculator to divide (to divide)
The time it took to look inside and realize that
I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See roses really smell like poo poo poo
Yeah, roses really smell like poo poo poo
I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See roses really smell like poo poo poo
Yeah, roses really smell like poo poo poo
Caroline! (Caroline!)
I said see she's the reason for the word bitch (bitch)
I hope she's speeding on the way to the club
Trying to hurry up to get to some
Baller or singer or somebody like that
And try to put on her makeup in the mirror
And crash, crash, crash.. into a ditch! (Just Playing!)
She needs a golden calculator to divide (to divide)
The time it took to look inside and realize that
Real guys go for real down to Mars girls, yeah!
I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See roses really smell like poo poo poo
Yeah, roses really smell like poo poo poo
I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See roses really smell like poo poo poo
Yeah, roses really smell like poo poo poo
Well she's got a hotty's body, but her attitude is potty
When I met her at a party she was hardly acting naughty
I said, "Shorty would you call me"?
She said, "Pardon me, are you ballin'"?
I said "Darling, you sound like like like a prostitute pursing,"
Oh, so you're one them freaks, get geeked at the sight of ATM receipts
But game been peeped, dropping names she's weak
Trickin' off this bitch is lost
Must take me for a geek a quick way to eat
A neat place sleep, a rent-a-car for a week, a trick for a treat
Now go on the raw sex, my AIDS test is flawless
Regardless, we don't want to get involved with no lawyers
And judges just to hold grudges in a courtroom
I wanna see ya support bra not support you!
I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See roses really smell like poo poo poo
Yeah, roses really smell like poo poo poo
I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See roses really smell like poo poo poo
Yeah, roses really smell like poo poo poo
I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See roses really smell like poo poo poo
Yeah, roses really smell like poo poo poo
I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See roses really smell like poo poo poo
Yeah, roses really smell like poo poo poo
Better come back down to Mars
Girl, quit chasin' cars
What happens when the dough gets low
Bitch, you ain't that fine
No way.. no way.. no way
Better come back down to Mars
Girl, quit chasin' cars
What happens when the dough gets low
Bitch, you ain't that fine
No way.. no way.. no way
Crazy bitch (repeated in background)
Bitch, stupid ass bitch
Old punk ass bitch, old dumbass bitch
A bitch's bitch, just a bitch
Crazy bitch (repeated in background)
Bitch, stupid ass bitch
Old punk ass bitch, old dumbass bitch
A bitch's bitch, just a bitch
The lyrics of "Roses" by Hayseed Dixie are an interesting commentary on relationships and societal attitudes towards women. The song tells the story of Caroline, a beautiful woman who is pursued by many men, but who may not necessarily be a good person at heart. The chorus, "I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank, but lean a little bit closer, see roses really smell like poo poo poo," suggests that Caroline may not be as perfect as she seems and that her beauty may be covering up a less desirable personality.
The second verse criticizes Caroline's attitude, describing her as someone who is only interested in money and status. The lyrics also present a negative view of prostitution, with lines like "Oh, so you're one them freaks, get geeked at the sight of ATM receipts." The third verse continues this criticism with lines like "Better come back down to Mars, girl, quit chasin' cars, what happens when the dough gets low, bitch you ain't that fine."
Overall, "Roses" is a song that challenges societal expectations of women and suggests that true value lies in one's character rather than in superficial traits like beauty or status.
