Country Gentlemen

From deep in the sweltering revival tent… Comes this righteous tome of weathered Nashville icons and blistering backwoods prophets - 'Hillbillies In Hell: Revelations.' An astounding collection of searing Gospel exhaltations, fiery End-Times laments, Death-Bed confessionals, Grim-Reapered recitations and Graveside grimoires. Often originally waxed on microscopic labels and distributed in dispiriting amounts, these troubled and mostly forgotten troubadours sing of Judgement Day, The Rapture and Death's Cold Black Fingers. Years in the making - 'Hillbillies In Hell: Revelations' presents 30 testaments and timeless tribulations - sermons of sinful sloth, howling Hell-Bound locomotives and scorching Apocalyptic redemption. A cold, stone final casket of fringe 45s - many of these sides are impossibly rare and are reissued here for the very first time. All for your purifying listening pleasure.

Standing at the crossroads of modern bluegrass and newgrass, The Infamous Stringdusters are a band that is "stretching [bluegrass] from within" (New York Times). For their sixth studio album, Ladies & Gentlemen, the band invited a dozen of their favorite female singers to join them. The list of featured guests includes some of the most dynamic and innovative artists from across the roots music, Americana and country worlds: Nicki Bluhm, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jen Hartswick, Sarah Jarosz, Claire Lynch, Aofie O'Donovan, Joan Osborne, Joss Stone, Sara Watkins, Abigail Washburn, Lee Ann Womack and Celia Woodsmith.

As concept albums go, LeAnn Rimes’ 2011 album Lady & Gentlemen is a good one: a collection of masculine country classics reinterpreted by a female singer. Sometimes, this reinterpretation amounts to little more than swapping a gender…

Though he’s been a recording artist for over two decades now, and has been writing songs for thirty years, The Straight Hits! is only Josh T. Pearson’s second solo album, and follows his acclaimed debut, 2011’s Last Of The Country Gentlemen and 2001’s The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads by his group Lift To Experience.

Country / Honky Tonk / Hillbilly / Rockabilly

This album, the latest collection of Honky-Tonk masterpieces by this generation's finest practitioners of the genre, is appropriately titled Broken Bottle, Broken Heart. Indeed, it was with both a bottle and a broken heart that I first sat down in my favorite chair to listen to these 14 songs of love and loss. Now, I'll be the first to tell you that it isn't always the best idea to mix heartache with alcohol while listening to real country music like this - the kind that once drifted out of car radios on back roads, blared out of jukeboxes, and echoed through dancehalls and Honky-Tonks across the U.S.A. Hell, that combination can be downright dangerous to the brokenhearted.
