Although Crosscut formed in Texas and makes its foundation of operations in Dallas, the ring is right at base in adjacent Louisiana, the place of origin of swamp pop. The four-man group has many ties to the Pelican State, not the least of which is the hot dash of zydeco and Cajun music in its songs, as well as a generous portion of megrims and some res publica. More real ties exist, as well. Crosscut's atomic number 82 singer and guitarist, Jerry Sartain, at one time played in the city of Lafayette with another group called Showdown. Lavell Jones, the band's drummer, traces his family's roots to Baton Rouge. So, also, does Jimmy Rogers, world Health Organization produced the band's Destination Anywhere album in 2001 for CSP Records, a mark located in Forney, TX. In keeping with the spirit of Louisiana, veteran Cajun artists Wayne Toups and Van Broussard are featured on the waiver. The CSP mark also commit out the band's low gear recording, an eponymous album that was split betwixt get over songs and original material, during the summer of 1999. Other members of the ring include bass player Terry Vieregge, and keyboardist and harmonica player Chuck Mabrey. Jones did not join the band until 2000, when he took all over on drums for Erin Baker, world Health Organization played on the band's self-titled debut.
