A.A. Bondy - When the Devil’s Loose

Recorded primarily in Water Valley, MS in April and May, When the Devil’s Loose expands upon the stripped down, haunting sound of his debut album, American Hearts. A full band now accompanies him on most tracks, lending a full, roomy sound of bluesy Americana.

Chuck Ragan - Gold Country

Former Hot Water Music front man Chuck Ragan releases his sophomore solo album, performed with collaborators including violinist Jon Gaunt and Hot Water Music drummer George Rebelo.

Reverend Horton Heat* - Laughin’ and Cryin’ With Reverend Horton Heat

A pomade-stiff romp, Laughin’ And Cryin’ leans toward the hard-drinking, hard-driving “billy” side of rockabilly with lounge love songs (“Aw, The Humanity”), odes to the good life (“Drinkin' And Smokin' Cigarettes”), comical takes on family life (“Please Don't Take The Baby To The Liquor Store”) and country guitar wizardry, Rev-style (“Oh By Jingo!”).
