Lucas sent me the CD the other week which was actually ...

• Tom Gillam – Had Enough?

  
  Twangville — Authority: 491
  Maybe it’s due to the drastically large volume of talent here in Texas, or maybe it’s becaus I can often be clueless, but many times, I feel like I am way behind when it comes to certain artists that I finally get around to “blogging” about. Tom Gillam ( Official / Myspace ) is one of the cases ...

• Danny Barnes – Pizza Box

  
  Twangville — Authority: 491
  I miss John Hartford.  He had a rare combination of incredible musicianship, a sly sense of humor, and an unmatched story-telling ability.  The result were songs that were fun: fun to listen to, fun to sing along with, and no doubt fun to perform.  There’s a lot of that fun in Danny Barnes’ latest release, ...

• Song o’ Day – “Love Song #1″ from The White Buffalo

  
  You Crazy Dreamers — Authority: 104
  I just recently discovered The White Buffalo while trolling Last.fm of fellow friends and neighbors and I must say it has been a pretty good find.  I listened to a couple of tracks from his website and then immediately zipped over to eMusic and picked up his Hogtied Revisited album that was released in March of this ...

• Possum Jenkins – Collection of Bad Habits

  
  Twangville — Authority: 491
  With several great albums that draw heavily on southern-rock swagger having been released by bands such as Drive By Truckers and Lucero recently, I figured I was fried for a while when it came to these types of sounds. With that said, I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself enjoying the new record by North ...

• Cracker ‘n P. Hood are “Friends”

  
  Twangville — Authority: 491
  Anybody recall “That’s What Friends Are For” featuring Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder and Elton John? I don’t know if this recent collaboration between Cracker and Patterson Hood qualifies as the modern day version, but who wouldn’t want to hear those four singin’ this tune. If a fight ...

  ReadJunk.com — Authority: 144
  Record Label: S/RGenre: Alt-CountryBand Link: www.glad-hearts.comBuy on Amazon.comBland, straight-forward alt-country. Even some slight edginess would be nice – this is more adult contemporary than indie. (The Bar Mitvah band-style keyboard playing doesn’t help.)On the positive side, the vocals aren’t bad and ...

• Hank Shizzoe and the Directors: Live in Motown

  
  Cahl's Juke Joint: A rock, blues and jazz blog — Authority: 137
  I dont know why Hank Shizzoe, a blues-playing roots rocker from Switzerland, called his new album "Live in Motown." It was recorded in Germany instead of Detroit and its sounds are rooted more in Memphis, Tupelo and Bakersfield than in the Motor City. No matter. "Live in Motown" mixes blues, twang and rock as well ...

• Album review: Dead Confederate – Wrecking Ball

  
  The Dreaded Press — Authority: 126
  OK, so this is a little confusing. The town where I live is home to a band called The Confederate Dead (who, incidentally, sound something like The Warlocks, and a great live act for psyche-rock fans). There’s another band in the States by the same name, and there’s also this lot, Dead Confederate … and ...

Plenty here to get those Saturday morning feet a stomping! Enjoy and don’t forget to drop your LitRock suggestions into my previous post… I plan to ...

• CD Review: Maynard and the Musties – So Many Funerals

  
  Lucid Culture — Authority: 424
  Nouveau outlaw country songwriter and Nashville expat Joe Maynard does double duty as a rare book dealer, hence the tongue-in-cheek band name. On this cd – his first with this particular crew – he comes across as sort of a hybrid of Townes Van Zandt, Tom Waits and David Allan Coe. Maynard built a reputation for ...

• The Wheat Pool release new video for “This Is It”

  
  Slowcoustic — Authority: 468
  Still a fan of these Edmonton boys since first seeing them live here in Calgary – won me over instantly.  They are not the regular acoustic folk that might grace the electronic pages of this site, but sometimes you need a bit of country rock to wake you from your stupor. Sidenote: Even with my wife saying she ...

  Ray Wylie Hubbards new album will be released in January. Sounds like a great way to kick-start the new year to me. Heres a reminder of just how good he is.

  Twangville — Authority: 491
  While many of us blogger-types are trying to figure out what our favorite releases of 2009 are, I have been enjoying what would’ve been one of my favorite records from 2008. Mac Leaphart’s ( Official / Myspace ) 2008 release, Line, Rope, Etc… is an excellent album, consisting of some country-flavored ...

• The world is a very small place. End result, Cam Penner is on my radar.

  
  Slowcoustic — Authority: 468
  The world is small and déjà vu and/or coincidences happen all the time.  Let me entertain you with a few facts that may seem not so much coincidental as simply true. So I was recently called out in front of the class for chewing gum not finding local talent.  The calling out cam from fellow Canadian blogger ...
