Highlights of their music are fast clawhammer banjo and guitar, big choruses with tight vocal harmonies, dramatic tempo changes, guitar/harmonica/piano solos to transition between sections of the song and clever lyrics often making a social or political statement. Occasionally, TRS will take an old time song, write new words and make it their own. A great example would be their angsty, ironic and mildly offensive interpretation of "Old Time Religion."
Famous quotes from Fans:
"The Rusty Seesaws sound like Johnny Cash on meth.""Their music makes you want to get up and dance like an old white guy."
