Surrural

Surrural is a term first used by the American singer-songwriter Tom Waits to describe a kind of music that he and wife Kathleen Brennan have attempted to create: "Kathleen and I came up with this idea of doing music that's surrural -- it's surreal and it's rural, it's surrural" [ [http://www.tomwaitslibrary.com/quotes-kathleen.html Tom Waits Library - Biography - Quotes ] ] [ [http://www.theexcuse.com/excuse/interviews/tomwaits/ Tom Waits by theexcuse.com ] ] . The term has subsequently been used to more accurately describe the music genres commonly known as either Alternative country or Roots rock [ [http://www.indyweek.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A18398 Honky-tonk Hip-hop Dreams: The Gourds defy definition by stirring in some "Gin and Juice": Music: Feature: Independent Weekly: Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill ] ] , and has appeared in other disciplines [ [http://lib.surruralist.net/about/ The SurRural Librarian » About Me ] ] and languages, as well [ [http://sozluk.sourtimes.org/show.asp?t=surrural surrural ] ] .
