Over the last few months I’ve posted quite a few notices of Album Releases spread across April, May, and June. Here’s a re-cap for your pre/late ordering pleasure all in one convenient place:
April
6th/ Dr. Dog – Shame, Shame
I only recently became a Dr. Dog fan, but since I finally gave their 2008 album Fate a listen, they’re basically ALL I’ve been spinning. I also had the pleasure of catching their live show in Austin a couple weeks back, and it was THE BEST rock and roll show I’ve ever seen. If at all possible catch this tour – the light show is mindblowing.
Dr. Dog - I Only Wear Blue
20th/ Horse Feathers – Thistled Spring
The third album from this acoustic folk outfit from Portland dropped late last month. I received my vinyl copy a few weeks ago, but haven’t had the chance to fully enjoy it yet. This one sounded good on the first pass:
Horse Feathers - Vernonia Blues
May
4th/ Josh Ritter – So Runs The World Away
I’ll be honest, So Runs The World Away kinda bored me on the first listen. The second time through, the latter half of the disc sounded better – especially this one with it’s busy acoustic guitar:
Josh Ritter - Lark
11th/ Sam Quinn + Japan Ten – The Fake That Sunk 1,000 Ships
Sam’s first solo endeavor, The Fake That Sunk 1,000 Ships showcases the heartbreaking songwriting ability we all came to love with The Everybodyfields.
Sam Quinn + Japan Ten - So Strong
18th/ Band of Horses – Infinite Arms
pre-order: [CD][Vinyl][Digtal]
I’ve given this one a few spins since picking it up and I like just about everything I’ve heard. This one seems to be a more melodic record than previous Band of Horses albums.
Band of Horses - Laredo removed by request
18th/ The Black Keys – Brothers
pre-order: [CD][Vinyl][Digtal]
The world’s best Blues/Rock duo has done it again with Brothers, the band’s 8th studio album. They continue to invent the grooviest of grooves, but Brothers isn’t as raw as the rest of their catalog – Dan’s songwriting shows through nearly as strong as on his solo album.
The Black Keys - Howlin' For You
June
8th/ Deer Tick – The Black Dirt Sessions
Following their meteoric rise over the last two years, the Providence Grunge-Folk Rockers Deer Tick release their third full album. They opened for Dr. Dog this month in Austin and from the sampling we heard, this one should be stellar.
Deer Tick - Twenty Miles
22nd/ Various – Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows (John Prine Tribute Album)
pre-order: [CD]
An All-Star cast of today’s best folk musicians came together to pay tribute to one of folk music’s best songwriters of all time. Whether it’s Justin Vernon, Josh Ritter, Willie Watson, or John McCauley doing the singing, the simply perfect melodies never let you forget you’re hearing a John Prine song.
Old Crow Medicine Show - Angel From Montgomery
