“Roy’s gift for blending Southern-influenced folk, blues, country and rock into a seamless genre with his own signature sound demonstrates his connection to the best in the tradition of fine wake-me-up and kick-me-in-the-ass roots music.” -NO DEPRESSION

I put some whiskey into my whiskey
I put some heartbreak into my heart
I put my boots on that ole dance floor
I put three rounds Lord, in my 44

I love the girl, she was my sunshine
Her name was Eleanor Caroline
She got fast, with a friend of mine
At the dance hall Lord, on the county line

I put some whiskey into my whiskey
I put some heartbreak into my heart
I make my way across that ole dance floor
And put three rounds Lord, in my Eleanor

I filled my glass with Uncle Jack
I lay my skin, my sunday black
I’ll make my bed on them railroad tracks
I’ll leave this world lord and I won’t look back

And I put some whiskey into my whiskey
I put some heartbreak into my heart
I put my boots on that ole dance floor
I put three rounds Lord, in my Eleanor

“Like a spore in a petri dish, Phylums slowly cultivated in the dank basements of Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2011. With a common goal of creating stripped-down, primitive rock n’ roll, members of Wisconsin acts Goodnight Loving, Head On Electric, and Holy Shit! started banging out three-chord homages to the Sonics, Creedence, the Monks…any band with a simple message and no-frills attack.”Source

“Christopher Ford, aka Christopher the Conquered, is feeling the effects of the Ryan Adams Bump. The Des Moines songwriter was quietly minding his own promotional business, releasing a pair of new songs in “What’s the Name of the Town” and “I’m Giving Up On Rock & Roll”, the title track to his forthcoming third LP. Out of the blue, Adams tweeted out an image of the album (a promo copy had found its way into his hands), saying that it was “blowing my mind.” And suddenly everything changed.”Source

“Simone Felice’s forthcoming live album, ‘From the Violent Banks of the Kaaterskill’, a career-encompassing double in the grand ‘70s tradition of ‘Comes Alive!’, ‘Live & Dangerous’ and ‘Alive’, showcases selected works from Simone’s extensive and breathtaking catalogue. Recorded live in the Catskill Mountains with backing from The Felice Brothers and Anna Mitchell, the collection will be released September 18 on Felice’s newly launched label Mighty Hudson Records and Warner Music Australia. Featuring 24 tracks, the set truly captures Simone’s rare gift as a songsmith, poet and visionary.”[Source]

“Sweany: Daytime Turned To Nighttime is my seventh full-length record. I wanted this record to show some things about me that I feel I hadn’t expressed fully on the previous albums. I chose to spend the earliest part of my musical life as an acoustic finger-style guitar player. That stylistic choice has informed every part of my current musical palette, but Daytime … is the first time I feel that those early elements are featured and celebrated in the songwriting and execution.” [Source and whole album promo stream]
