Songs in the Key of E

His name was Marcus Beaubier and he was a comedian. But like many a funny man, he possesed no small amount of truth and the indelible mark he laid upon the genre we know of as Gutter Folk came the day he told a young and impressionable Jeremy Owen:

"You should always start the song with an E chord; it's a big, fat, monster chord that grabs people right off, so that all you need to do is worry about finding a second chord that'll hold 'em."

That he was speaking of punk music made little difference to the godfather of Gutter Folk, he just scooped it up and threw it into the mix.
