Red Meat is a country band that has released the albums "Meet Red Meat" (1997), "Thirteen" (1999), "Alameda County Line" (2001) and "We Never Close" (2007). The last three albums were produced by Dave Alvin, and engineered by Mark Linett.

The song "Broken Up and Blue" from "Thirteen" is featured on the soundtrack of the 2001 movie "Monster's Ball."[1] The pit orchestra at the Academy Awards played the song when Halle Berry accepted her award for best actress.[2]

The debut album won an SF Weekly "Wammie" award as best roots band. It also produced a top-five single in France with "Texas Texas." [3]

In recent years, Red Meat has also served as the backing band in California for rock & roll hall of famer Wanda Jackson.
