I was very happy with the Headlights’ Vinyl as well as their kick-ass live set.
They have a fery full sound, and the male-female harmony paired with the upbeat pace is reminiscent of STARS or Asobi Seksu.

You can buy the vinyl or cd from INSOUND

Jason Isbell - Sirens Of The Ditch

Source: morecowbell.net

Jason IsbellJason Isbell is one of the 3 guitarists & vocalists from the great Drive-By Truckers, and he just happens to be my favorite member & songwriter as well. I’ve been anticipating Jason’s solo debut since it was first talked about well over 2 years now (maybe longer?), and it appears as if it’s finally going to see the light of day on July 10th.

Not only that, but the 3 tracks from it up on his official myspace page sound absolutely killer.

‘Dress Blues‘ is a song that Jason wrote about his high school friend back in Alabama who was a Marine that died in Iraq. The lyrics are some of the most gutwrenching i’ve ever heard, and Jason’s solo performances of it have been stunning.

Watch Jason play ‘Dress Blues‘ solo as well as tell the story about his friend Matt Connelly:

Dress Blues - Live at Stubb’s BBQ (Austin, TX) 4/29/2006

But as great as the solo versions are, I really enjoy the full band spin on the song as well and think it adds a nice finishing touch. The female backing vocals (Shonna?) sound gorgeous as well.

‘Try‘ is a killer rocker with some spectacular guitar work, ‘Grown‘ is a really nice little number as well, with a reference to listening to ‘Purple Rain’, that I’m sure will go over nicely next Monday (4/9) when Jason and his band open up for Son Volt at First Avenue!

Monday, April 09
 First Avenue
SON VOLT

Doors: 7:30 PM / 18+

Joseph Arthur - Let’s Just Be

Source: morecowbell.net

letsjustbe.jpg

April 17th, Joseph Arthur will release his new album, ‘Let’s Just Be‘. This will bes Joseph’s 6th full length and the second for his own label (the first being last years ‘Nuclear Daydream‘), Lonely Astronaut. In addition to ‘Let’s Just Be‘, he is also set to release another album later this year as well!

The first single off ‘Let’s Just Be‘ comes in the form of ‘Diamond Ring‘. A sweet little rocker which has definite hints of influence from the Stones, the Faces, and maybe even some Bowie at times. It’s a slight bit of a departure for him, but I think it works really well. I’m sure it will sound even better live with his full band, The Lonely Astronauts.

Joseph Arthur - Diamond Ring

You can pre-order ‘Let’s Just Be‘ on www.JosephArthur.com. They is also a special edition for sale, which will only be available on his site and at his shows. As an extra bonus, it features Joseph’s great original artwork as well.

I reviewed Joseph’s Fine Line show last fall, and it ended up being one of my favorite shows of the year, and I’m guessing his upcoming show on April 27th at the great Varsity Theatre will be awesome as well. No word just yet if it’s going to be the same backing band as last fall, which featured hometown boy Kraig Jarret Johnson on guitar & backing vocals.
