Los Straitjackets - Complete Christmas Songbook (CD)
€15,00Quick ViewOver the course of their three-decade career, Nashville’s Los Straitjackets have established themselves as America’s premier surf rock group. While the band has a handful of albums that range from covers of surf rock staples to slamming originals, Los Straitjackets have released various Christmas albums and singles to much critical acclaim. Yep Roc Records has compiled every holiday song the band has ever recorded into one Los Straitjackets collection, Complete Christmas Songbook.
The brand-new collection compiles the entirety of two Los Straitjackets Christmas albums (2002’s ’Tis the Season for Los Straitjackets and 2009’s limited edition Yuletide Beat), a limited edition 45 single (2011’s Hark the Herald Angels Sing b/w Silver Bells), a song from Yep Roc’s 2007 Oh Santa! compilation, and the live version of ”Linus & Lucy” from the band’s 2015 tour with Nick Lowe. Los Straitjackets’ Christmas material has reached audiences around the globe since Conan O’Brien would bring the band onto Late Night with Conan O’Brien every holiday season to perform their holiday catalog in the late 1990s.
Los Straitjackets are currently touring with Nick Lowe as part of Nick’s Quality Rock & Roll Revue. In October, the band will be part of the Baja Bop, a surf rock-themed cruise to Mexico featuring two sets from Los Straitjackets, one of which will be a ”Rock en Espanol” sent accompanied by their longtime collaborator and friend Big Sandy.

Do you prefer your Christmas with sawdust on the floor and blood in its mouth?” (New Music Express) If so, don’t bother writing to Santa.

Alvin Dave - From An Old Guitar: Rare and Unreleased Recordings (LP)
€20,00Quick ViewProduced by Dave Alvin, From An Old Guitar: Rare and Unreleased Recordings, the 16-song collection offers a mix of acoustic blues and ballads to electric bar room blues to folk and country/rock. Featuring songs recorded over the years for his own records and tribute albums, “the majority were recorded for no other reason at all than the sheer kicks of going into a recording studio to make some joyous noise with musicians and singers that I love and admire,” offers Alvin.
The album includes songs written by Alvin as well songs written by Alvin’s dear friends like Peter Case, Bill Morrissey and Chris Smither, and heroes like Willie Dixon, Bob Dylan, Earl Hooker, Doug Sahm, Lil’ Hardin Armstrong, Marty Robbins and Bo Carter. There are also contributions from dearly departed comrades like Chris Gaffney, Amy Farris and Bobby Lloyd Hicks and from old Blasters pals like Gene Taylor along with various members of The Guilty Men/Women/Ones.
“If I had a few extra bucks in my pocket, I’d book a day in the studio, call some old (or new) friends, comrades and co-conspirators to join me and see what would happen,” notes Alvin, “no pressure, no expectations, just making music for the transcendental thrill of, well, making music.” Some of the brilliant accompanists joining Alvin in-studio include Greg Leisz, Cindy Cashdollar, Bob Glaub, Don Heffington, Christy McWilson, Danny Ott, Dale Spalding, and Cindy Wasserman.
“I consider myself extremely lucky to have had such a stellar collection of musicians to make some noise with and to say that I’m proud of the performances on this release would be a gigantic understatement,” adds Alvin. “And, yeah, of course I played beat up, old guitars on all the songs. I sincerely hope you enjoy these songs (and the musicians/singers bringing them to life). These recordings may be rare, unreleased or little heard but I’m very proud of them and they hold a very special, warm place in my heart. Just like my old guitars.”

Chatham County Line - Speed of the Whippoorwill (LP)
€15,00Quick ViewOn their third album in four years, Chatham County Line enlisted producer Brian Paulson to help them bring their raw & ready vision to digital. Featuring ten new Dave Wilson originals, a co-write between him and mandonlinist John Teer, a Teer original, and one by banjoist Chandler Holt, along with a cover of Don Robertson, the formula isn’t all that different — most of this is contemporary bluegrass that could have been recorded in the heyday of the Stanley Brothers or Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys. Speed of the Whippoorwill is more sophisticated, however, mostly in the lyrics of Wilson, who employs humor along with heartbreak in his songs. There is a more Mark Twain-like view of the world, even if it is obvious in places. Check the lyrics to By the Riverside”: ”Skipped out of work, just to ease my thoughts/Went down to the riverside, just to get lost/Got some fishing line and a hickory limb/Sat there thinking about Huck & Jim.” The bluegrass stomp is plentiful here and it always works: ”Company Blues,” ”Rock Pile,” the breakdown ”Savoy Special,” and ”Coming Home.” Less successful are the ballads, such as the Louvin Brothers-inspired ”They Were Just Children” and ”Waiting Paradise.” They’re too long, even as story-songs, and they are wordy and overly redundant of their forbears. However, the swinging bluegrass of ”Day I Die” is tight, melodic, full of killer harmonies, and punchy as all get out. ”Confederate Soldier” is a straight-up country tune with Greg Reading playing pedal steel, and lyrically it works, but again, it takes too long for the story to reveal itself. For those who enjoyed the first pair of Chatham County Line records, this one will not come as a surprise, but will appear more adventurous. For those just coming to the band, either the band’s self-titled debut or Route 23 would be better places to begin. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide”

Lowe Nick & Los Straitjackets - Lay It On Me (Ltd) (LP)
€20,00Quick ViewNick Lowe strikes again with a 2020 EP, Lay It On Me, where he is once again joined by his gang of masked musicians, Los Straitjackets. The limited edition EP features two new originals from Nick, ’Lay It On Me Baby’ and ’Don’t Be Nice to Me’, plus a cover of Dorsey Burnette’s ’Here Comes That Feeling’ (made famous by Brenda Lee). Nick’s wordplay and razor-sharp lyrics shine bright with the twang-friendly tones of Los Straitjackets behind him. On Side B of the EP is the first track that Nick has produced in over two decades that wasn’t one of his own performances: Los Straitjackets turning Shocking Blue/Bananarama’s ’Venus’ into a surf rock staple.

Chatham County Line - Autumn (LP)
€15,00Quick ViewOur band is a lot like this place, ” says Chatham County Line guitarist, lead singer and songwriter Dave Wilson. His eyes wander across the original hardwood lanes of the mid-century Raleigh bowling alley where he just finished rolling and drinking two rounds. Playing traditional string band instrumentation around a single microphone while clad in suits and ties visually projects a similar sepia-toned timelessness. ”We create a product that you’re familiar with and you’ll enjoy going back to because you know what to expect. My dad ran a local hardware store years ago and I always felt like we shared that.” Sure enough, like a small town store, there’s no dramatic tale or sexy hook to fuel the hype machine for Autumn, the seventh studio album since the Raleigh, NC-based Chatham County Line-Wilson, John Teer (mandolin/fiddle), Chandler Holt (banjo), and Greg Readling (bass, pedal steel, piano)-coalesced in the late 1990’s. Instead, the story behind the workmanlike group’s newest release-available September 2, 2016 via Yep Roc Records-is simple: A veteran ensemble at the top of it’s game sticking to it’s considerable strengths-poignant songwriting and inventive acoustic arrangements that draw upon a broad array of American roots influences, highlighted by trademark three- and four-part harmonies that shine throughout. ”We were so obsessive about the way Tightrope sounded and making sure we got the songs right that this record was kind of a 180 from that, ” Wilson explains, referring to the meticulous, multi-year process that birthed Autumn’s predecessor. ”I think we were all exhausted from that process and wanted to just take the songs I had written and record them.” Thanks to the more casual approach, Autumn marries the comfortable maturity of 2014’s Tightrope with the welcome spontaneity of Chatham County Line’s earlier work. Though the year between sessions wasn’t dedicated to consciously working on the record, it was perhaps the most productive period for the songs to take shape, according to Wilson. ”It’s like leaving your desk and taking a walk: You have your best ideas when you’re not working on what you’re supposed to be working on.

Chatham County Line - Sharing the Covers (LP)
€15,00Quick ViewVinyl LP pressing includes digital download. North Carolina-based ensemble Chatham County Line’s eighth studio album, Sharing The Covers is, at it’s core, a tribute to those whom the band hold dear, and a chance for the group to perform modern and traditional classics in the bluegrass-style they’re known for best. On the 13-track collection, Chatham County Line takes the familiar and adds a touch of originality to create a wholly new and inventive roster of covers by Tom Petty, Alton Delmore, John Lennon, The Louvin Brothers, Beck, James Hunter, Wilco and more. Recorded at Durham, NC’s Overdub Lane studio, where they cut their first album, where 2010’s Wildwood was mixed, and where a few tracks from 2016’s Autumn were recorded, Sharing The Covers was engineered by Chris Boerner, who also engineers the band’s live shows.

Two Dollar Pistols - With Tift Merritt (LP)
€15,00Quick View”In 1999, The Two Dollar Pistols frontman John Howie, Jr. and North Carolina native, Tift Merritt, joined forces to try out some country duets they were working on – and more than a decade later, Yep Roc Records is releasing the album on vinyl. After performing the songs to an enthusiastic audience at Chapel Hill venue Local 506, the duo decided to record a seven-song EP. The Two Dollar Pistols and Tift Merritt paid tribute to country greats and duet partners held in high esteem, as well as introduced John and Tift’s first two songs penned together. The EP includes ”Suppose Tonight Would Be Our Last,” originally recorded and written by George Jones and Melba Montgomery, Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton’s classic ”Just Someone I Used to Know”, and ”One Paper Kid” as recorded by Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris. With ”If Only You Were Mine” and ”Counting the Hours,” John and Tift made a first indelible mark on the duet tradition with their own compositions.”

Lowe Nick And His Cowboy Outfit - The Rose Of England (Remastered 2017,Gatefold sleeve) (LP)
€15,00Quick ViewTeaming up again with his Cowboy Outfit, Nick Lowes The Rose of England remains a highly engaging and often overlooked album. The title track tells a World War I-era tale that was sturdy enough to be covered by Brit-folkies The Oyster Band, and features a trademark Lowe hook. Nick took a huge swing at the charts, recording his version (previously recorded by Dave Edmunds, and played live by Rockpile) of his classic I Knew the Bride with pal Huey Lewis producing and his band the News providing the track. Fame and fortune may not have followed, but a solid batch of songs including covers of pals John Hiatt (She Dont Love Nobody) and Elvis Costello (Indoor Fireworks) rubbed shoulders with Nicks originals as well as Nicks most-covered cover (Moon Mullicans 7 Nights to Rock).
