Bruce Robison + More, Releases 9/2
BRUCE ROBISON, The New World (Premium)
Official Site | MySpace | Samples (Amazon)
The most disappointing thing about this album is that there are only ten tracks. This is perhaps a countrier version of something Peter Case would put together which makes it top shelf for me. Robison has long been an elite member of the Austin music scene and his connections to country royalty are well known (Kelly Willis, Charile Robison, Emily Robison). ‘The New World’ is yet another great album from Bruce Robison. Forget about the creepy, weird album art and soak up tracks like “The Hammer”, “California 85″, and “Echo”. File under: Country / Folk
Noteworthy
- BRIAN WILSON, That Lucky Old Sun (Capitol)
Official Site | Samples (Amazon)
A whopping 17 new songs from the California beach boy. - RODNEY CROWELL, Sex & Gasoline (Yep Roc)
Official Site | Samples (Amazon)
Never shy to speak his mind, Crowell tells it like it is and Doyle Bramhall II pitches in on guitar. - SONYA KITCHELL, This Storm (Decca/Velour)
Official Site | MySpace | Samples (Amazon)
Clearly a rising star, Kitchell aims to make a statement with her latest.
