Aaron Watson - Angels & Outlaws
Our Price: $13.00

Angels & Outlaws kicks off with "Tulsa," a revved-up and re-tooled Waylon Jennings chestnut, and closes with "That's What I Like About a Country Song," a classic Lone Star-shuffle throwdown with co-producer Benson and fellow Texas troubadours Jack Ingram, Kevin Fowler and Roger Creager joining in. In between are some of Watson's finest songs, carved from stages and well-worn dancefloors across the southwest. From the title song, inspired by the legendary love affair of Johnny Cash and June Carter, to the shotgun sentiment of "Wake Up and Smell the Coffee," to an out-of-left-field, fiddle-drenched cover of John Mayer's "The Heart of Life," Angels & Outlaws celebrates Watson's all-American artistry as well as his stubborn independent streak.
Jim Stringer - Triskaidekaphilia
Our Price: $13.00

“Triskaidekaphilia” is a commemoration of Stringer’s sixty years on the planet, and pays homage to the music, the people, the life and loves that have pioneered, shared and followed his path. The music cuts a wide stylistic swath, something which has become expected in Stringer’s CDs. There’s the celebratory rockabilly of “Here’s the River”, written in remembrance of Stringer’s father. “Chevy Headed West”, a poignant memoir of a pair of late 60’s twenty year olds on the day of the Robert Kennedy assassination, would have fit neatly into Johnny Cash’s repertoire. Stringer’s early Hootenanny performances are recalled in “The Right Direction”, which incidentally, reveals the secret to enlightenment. The dark country waltz (emphasis on DARK), “I Saw Them Together”, is a miniature episode of “Law & Order”. A country shuffle, a few two-beats, and a blazing instrumental tribute to Hank Garland complete the thirteen track program.
Todd Snider - Peace Queer
Our Price: $12.00

Peace Queer starts with revelry, and the album includes a Civil War sea shanty, a plaintive cover of 1960's classic "Fortunate Son," a spoken-word number, a rocked-fueled meditation on contemporary culture ("Stuck On The Corner"), and a Fred Sanford-ish funeral dirge. The emotional centerpiece of the album is the wistful "Ponce Of The Flaming Peace Queer." -- ToddSnider.net
Reckless Kelly - Bulletproof
Our Price: $15.00

Bringing more rock than roots to Bulletproof, this collection of songs is RK's most ambitious and venomous album to date. The band delivers rollicking guitars, an aggressive rhythm section, and lyrics addressing politics of the day, epic road anthems and ragged love songs. With 14 songs, it's a Texas- size serving that will move you from one end of the spectrum to the other.
Lucinda Williams - Little Honey
Our Price: $15.00

"Is your death wish stronger than you are?" Lucinda Williams asks in "Little Rock Star," a cautionary song swathed in guitar noise that someone should instant-message to Pete Doherty, Ryan Adams and Amy Winehouse. While it shows that the 55-year-old barbed-wire country singer is wary of rock's trappings, Little Honey proves she's still crushed out on the music. On "Real Love," amid boogie-rock riffing, she alternately pledges her heart to a guy, a girl and an electric guitar. And "Honey Bee" ranks with Joe Liggins' 1945 hit "The Honeydripper" as one of the nastiest apiological jams ever ("Now I got your honey," she hollers, "all over my tummy!"). There are some throwaways: "Jailhouse Tears," a honky-tonk trailer-trash bitchfest, is playacted too hard by Williams and guest Elvis Costello. But it's useful comic relief between the downtempo numbers that — for all the rock thrills here — remain Williams' most potent showcases. "If wishes were horses," she moans on the sublime song of the same name, "I'd have a ranch." Ride 'em, sister. -- Rolling Stone
The Resentments - Roselight
Our Price: $13.00

The fourth studio CD by the legendary Austin supergroup that features world-class musicians Stephen Bruton (Bonnie Raitt), Scrappy Jud Newcomb (Ian MacLagan), Bruce Hughes (Bob Schneider) and John Chipman (Band of Heathens).
Josh Abbott Band - Scapegoat
Our Price: $15.00

With the help of Drew Womack, who sang harmonies and co-produced the vocals on his new record, Austin Davis, who slams down an entirely new sound with his electric banjo leads, Preston Wait, who throws around dueling fiddles and killer lead guitar riffs, a punctual rhythm section spear headed by Daniel “Dova” Almodova on Bass and Edward V on drums and some sultry harmonies from CMT host and Nashville Recording Artist Charla Corn, Josh has produced a record that will not be ignored this fall.
