Random news....No Depression archives, Wrinkle Neck Mules, Brian Henneman comments

Big news for alt-country (whatever that is) fans, and music lovers in general today as No Depression has put all of it's past articles, reviews, letters, pretty much the whole of the magazine minus ads, online today in the No Depression Archives. I bet I spent 3 hours this afternoon looking through old articles (some really interesting V-Roys articles in there for Scott Miller fans). Can't wait to dig in some more.

In other news, A Truer Sound favorites Wrinkle Neck Mules have announced their new album titled Let The Lead Fly will be released on Sept. 22nd on Lower 40 Records. Read about it here

And finally, here is a forum post (in which someone commented he was going to have a shit fit) from Brian Henneman regarding the Bottle Rockets demos I posted over the weekend

No shit fit here.
Go git it.
I have no idea what they sound like, but, if I did it, it's 'cause I wanted somebody to hear it.
That ain't stealin' it's sharin', 'cause none of this was ever for sale, or, intended for sale...

The Bottle Rockets - Dust and Wrath Demos (1990)

The final in the Bottle Rockets Demo Trilogy. This one is from 1990 and features a few songs that will be familiar to B-Rox fans. The majority of these however however have never been released officially. Shame too cause there are some good songs on here.

As I said earlier, The Bottle Rockets have a new album entitled Lean Forward due out early next month (Aug. 11th to be exact). And if you are interested at all in reading about the history of Henneman and The Bottle Rockets, I found the wikipedia article to be the best (most of it was copied verbatim from factorybelt.net)

Happy 4th y'all

The Bottle Rockets - Brian Henneman Demos (1991)

The second Bottle Rockets demo of the trilogy I will be posting. Kind of a followup to the Uncle Tupelo demo trilogy. This one is Brian Henneman backed by Jay and Jeff from Uncle Tupelo. Really cool banjo version of "Wave That Flag" on here with what I'm assuming to be Jay Farrar on the banjo.

Bottle Rockets - Brian Henneman Demos

Brian Henneman (of the Bottle Rockets) - Live Solo Oct. 10th, 2001

I got a request for some live Bottle Rockets, well I'll get to that, but here is a killer Brian Henneman solo show. Brian Henneman is the leader of the Bottle Rockets, and he writes all their songs.....he also used to play with Uncle Tupelo and is all over Wilco's first album (you know the one that doesn't completely suck :P). The Bottle Rockets are a great band, and if you're not familiar with them, I will be doing a sampler of them here soon. This is also a good intro to them, though it's not quite as rockin' as they can be.

On this boot Henneman runs through some of my fave BoRox songs....particularly "Idiot's Revenge" & "Perfect Far Away".....not to mention "1000 Dollar Car", "Wave That Flag", & "Turn For The Worse".
