Serving up this week…

A white hot record from supergroup The Highwomen finds it’s way to wax. Once upon a few gigs ago, I had the pleasure of hearing a young songwriter named Maren start out in town. One Monday night she played a solo set opening for a Kentucky born country singer about to release his first record. Sturgill and she sang to about 30 people that night. Maren and The Highwomen don’t have to open for anyone because how in the hell could you follow them?

Ladies, leave a little room for the fellas if you will. Mark Lanagen’s Bubblegum is a classic for me and I’m looking forward to something new from the QOTSA collaborator. We also have a fresh new record from Jim James in the stacks. I’m always down to hear what he’s dishin’ up.

Don’t over do it on new releases and leave some room for the reissues. It’s a great chance to add some classics to the collection. Stiff Little Fingers, Roy Orbison, Marvin Gaye, Jimmy Page & the Black Crowes, along with the incomparable Etta James see new pressings this week. Sweet news indeed friends.

To round it all out this week we have two reissues from Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit. Jason’s wife and current ‘Highwoman’, Amanda Shires, worked at that previous gig with me. Fantastic people in my book so go out and get a slice of their music.
