250 word album review: Justin Townes Earle – Kids in the Street

Album at a glance: Like Rabbits – The Devil In Your Eyes
Like Rabbits doesn’t pull any punches on their debut album. It’s straight forward bar bluegrass. The rustic music (stand-up bass, banjo, mandolin, acoustic guitar) is fronted with raspy, whiskey soaked vocals with lyrics to match. Songs like “Keep On Drinking” … Continue reading
250 word album review: Wayne Hancock – Slingin’ Rhythm
