Okay, last month we stumbled, both technically and performance wise, through the debut podcast. Come month two, we’re ready to drop the cream of Americana podcasts (from one of the best Americana blogs) on you, and our tech is prepped for the amount of awesome that you’re likely to find yourself listening to multiple times a week. I know I’m coming off like the Kanye West of the Americana blogging community, but I don’t give a fuck. I like fish sticks and I’m telling you, you’re gonna love it and you’re gonna listen to it numerous times. I feel that confident.

Since Drag The River “broke up,” it stood to reason that guitarist/singer Jon Snodgrass and singer Chad Price would be releasing solo efforts. Chad is supposed to have one coming out by the end of 2009, and while I wouldn’t put the notion of another Drag The River album completely to bed, Mr. Snodgrass was the first to strike with Visitor’s Band.
Over the course of 2008, Jon managed to book studio time on both coasts and places in between to record Visitor’s Band. He also managed to pull in a few collaborators like Chad Rex, Joey Erg, Chris Pierce and ninebullets.net faves, Two Cow Garage. Read the rest of this entry »
Hey everyone. Here’s some shit I wanted to get to or saw this week that I wanted to pass along:
Ever heard of $5 Cover: Memphis? Yeah, me neither. Apparently, it’s a faux-reality show that’s gonna be airing on MTV. The cool thing is that it will feature ninebullets.net faves Lucero. Looks like that major label deal is already paying off. You go boys! Here is the trailer:
Some good news has come down the pipe from Virgil over on Suburban Home Records. In the coming month, we’re gonna see a new release from Drag The River, Bad at Breaking Up, a collection of 7″-only tracks, B-sides, and tracks from their split LP with The Dents. If that wasn’t cool enough, Jon Snodgrass will also release his first solo effort, Visitor’s Band, which features guest spots by Two Cow Garage, Chad Rex, Joey Erg, Chris Pierce, Eric Powers, and others. Here are some tracks from those releases:
Finally, the folks over on Twangnation brought it to my attention that famed New York blues guitarist, Popa Chubby, is gonna give this whole country music thing a try with his wife in a project called Vicious Country. Out of the gate, they’re covering Hank III’s song, Straight To Hell. Not a bad way to start Popa! Here is the video:
