Allright, so let's get back to the music here. You guys had to endure not one, but TWO posts about FLAC files so I hope this more than makes up for it! Lots of new but plenty of familiar on here. Hope you guys enjoy.01. BettySoo - Who Knows
02. Jimbo Mathus - Fallen Angel
Got a Jimbo post coming up in the near future. This twanger is off his latest Jimmy The Kid
03. Corb Lund - Horse Doctor, Come Quick
04. Chuck Prophet - Hot Talk
Funky song of Chuck's latest Let Freedom Ring. An album Chuck calls "protest music for people who hate protest music"
05. DADDY - He Ain't Right
06. Kieran Kane - More To It Than This
Americana legend Kieran Kane snuck in an amazing album this year called Somewhere Beyond The Roses. This song is off it
07. Sarah Borges & The Broken Singles - Ride With Me
Great song off her new album The Stars Are Out
08. Drive-By Truckers - Rebels
DBT's take on an obscure Tom Petty tune. Off their excellent latest The Fine Print
09. Sons of Bill - So Much For The Blues
I promised more on these guys, and I still intend to follow through with a whole post dedicated to VA bands. Until then enjoy this song off their latest One Town Away
10. Mud, Blood, & Beer - Lucy
11. Gabriel Sullivan - Tip Back The Bottle
Press release describes him as Tom Waits meets Black Keys. That's a good place to start, but I hear a little bit of William Eliott Whitmore in there too. Off his debut By The Dirt
12. Chuck Ragan - Let It Rain
Former Hot Water Music frontman returns with new album Gold Country
13. Tom Russell - Mississippi River Running Backwards
Others are calling Blood and Candlesmoke the album of the year. I am inclined to agree. Read Tom's Blog with insights into the album here
14. Scott Miller - I'm Right Here My Love
Scott gets a little help from Patty Griffin on this song from his latest For Crying Out Loud. Here is a good interview explaining the inspiration of the song
15. The Pines - Spike Driver Blues
Off their latest release Tremolo
16. Chris Unck & The Black Roses - Rosalina
Lower 40 turned me on to this album Ridiculous!! Ridiculous!! to tide me over till the new Wrinkle Neck Mules album comes out. Really liked this song
17. Dexateens - New Boy
Off the new Dexateens disc Singlewide
18. The Devil Makes Three - For Good Again
Cool song off the new Devil Makes Three album Do Wrong Right
19. The Avett Brothers - Tin Man
A song off the highly anticipated I and Love and You
20. Slaid Cleaves - Cry
The lead off track from Slaid's newest Everything You Love Will Be Taken Away
21. The Bottle Rockets - Solitaire
Alt Country institution The Bottle Rockets return this year with one of their finest albums since the 90's, Lean Forward
MP3 @ 160

So... where's the download link for the FLAC version? :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, i wouldn't miss your truesounds for anything.
Care to explain what the guy on the cover is doing? It looks pretty dangerous;)
Oh man, he's making applebutter. Homemade applebutter in the fall is one of the greatest things in life. I would say it's the reason God made apples.
ReplyDeleteThat Sons of Bill song is great!
ReplyDeleteLove your compilations, they open my ears to artists that i would not normally hear.
ReplyDeleteDon`t want to get into the Flac argument, but why only 160? Almost unlistenable on any reasonable quality player, and yes I know they are only `Samples`....Thanks.
Above Anonymous Commentor, you are exactly right. They are intended as samples so I treat them as such. I like to think of it as radio quality. The intent is to pique your interest so you check out or even pick up one of their physical albums, which can then be encoded however one desires ;-P
ReplyDeleteGreat comp w/ some cool new tunes, Blurt Magazine online Twitter just gave Truer Sound some props w/ raves about Fall 2009 mix. Blurt twitter 8hrs ago
ReplyDeletelooking forward to give this one a listen, I think I'm not familiar with any of the tunes (I don't even have the new Bottle Rockets...shame on me)!
ReplyDeletethanks for your efforts, they're very much appreciated!
