Don’t try to pigeonhole Brooklyn’s the Ramblin’ Kind into some kind of alt-country, country-folk, country-rock subgenre; they are proud be called a country band, pure and simple. Jim “Duckie” Allen, Oliver “Twist” Sharpe, Matt “Scrappy” Applebaum, Nate “Abel” Knaebel, and Steve “the Charmer” Goulding will be lassoing fans on November 18 at Hill Country, whooping it up with such songs as “You May Already Be a Loser,” “Have You Ever Been Lonely,” and “Black Rose,” mixing up originals with classics by “hardcore country cats.” There’s no cover at Hill Country, which “honors the barbecue and live music capital of Texas” with a menu that includes Kreuz sausage, beer can game hen, white shoepeg corn pudding, sweet potato bourbon mash, and original PB&J cupcakes and a music lineup featuring such groups as Sean Kershaw and the New Jack Ramblers, Stringbean and the Stalkers, Citigrass, and, of course, the Ramblin’ Kind.
