The River in Reverse, Elvis Costello & Alan Touissaint
A potent combination inspired by one of America’s disgraceful disasters.
The pride of Festus, Missouri rediscover the rock-and-roll side of country. For more on the Bottle Rockets, see the Twangville preview.Â
The English duo were a pleasant surprise at this year’s SXSW. Using a variety of synthesizers and instruments, they create a refreshing pop soundscape. Â
The legends of power pop return with a tribute to their hometown. Who cares if the combination of Rick Nielsen playful electric guitars and Robin Zander’s classic rock vocals remain the same, the party never ends!
