I guess by now you are starting to see a theme. This Dexateens album is from last year and made a few best of lists around the blog-o-sphere. It was free last year too...sorry guys, guess I flaked on that one! Regardless it's still free and it's a pretty killer little album.If you're not familiar with The Dexateens (and you should be cause I've put them on many Truesounds samplers), they are an Alabama band who remind me of severly twanged up early DBT (pre-Southern Rock Opera). Mostly attributed to singer Elliott McPherson's serious southern drawl. Speaking of DBT, Patterson Hood is a fan. So much so he co-produced their 2007 album Hardwire Healing.
So give this a listen if you haven't already, because if you like it you should seriously consider their latest album Singlewide, which is a much more mature and realized album in my opinion, and possibly their best to date.

This is a cool album.... although the Lost and found gave me a vague memory of Honky Tonk Women... but I guess that's me.... The Dexateens have a good variety of music... get this one peeps... get it....
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've been digging that Dexateens album for a while.
ReplyDeleteOn an unrelated note, have you listened to Jason Eady? Texas songwriter with Mississippi roots, plays quality country tunes thick with blues and gospel influences. I caught him in at the White Elephant Saloon in Fort Worth last weekend trying out stuff from his new record. Oh, and a bonus Texas music connection: Eady's touring guitarist, Scott Davis, also plays with the inimitable Hayes Carll.
