A lot of people ask the question “what is Americana Roots Music?”
People have trouble with that one. Is it Johnny Cash, Dwight
Yoakam, Steve Earle, Chip and Carrie, Hayes Carll? Well it’s all
of that... and when you can roll it all into a big party joint and
smoke it up you get Mitch Webb and The Swindles. I’m sure this
might be as fun as music gets. This is why people get into the
music business or at least it’s why they should. The San Antonio
quartet rambles through a raucus history of why Texas is the only
state that has it’s own genre. Hardly a spot in the Lone Star state
that hasn’t spawned at least one music hero and San Antonio has
added their own. Now it’s time to get the fuck out of the way!...
Mitch Webb and The Swindles are here and it’s gonna get loud!
Chip Taylor takes a look at the human condition with the brilliant New Songs of Freedom. NSoF covers our times like nothing out there right now.
Victor Comozzi - 3 Peso Cigar
Produced by the great Walt Wilkins, 3 Peso Cigar is the debut effort from Texas singer/songwriter Vic Comozzi. It's gruff, gritty Tex-Mex roots rock and it's really fucking good!
Mitch Webb and The Swindles - Lonely Kind
It's a raucus, twangin', beer-swillin, rockabilly flavored Alt-Country stew and it's one of the coolest records you'll hear this year.
Natasha James - Bad Judgements
She's smooth, silky and sassy and Bad Judgements is reminiscent of of the jazz tinged country sound of Van Morrison. Natasha James, the Northern California singer songwriter is one to watch.
Roger Salloom - LaTeDa
Dubbed America's best unknown songwriter, Roger Salloom backs it up with LaTeDa, a collection of witty, well crafted and well performed songs. Featuring Eilen Jewell, Grayson Capps and Charles Neville.
