A couple of great new country rock and roots bands i feel obliged to tell you about
Firstly The Radials and their self titled Debut, nearly passed this one by as i did,nt care a lot for the vocals, on first listen thought they were a bit flat, but something drew me back and i discovered some great music on listening again. Some of the picking is excellent especially steel guitar on "Three New Shades Of Rust" and the Lead and Steel on the wonderful " Chophouse Blues" (these two songs are certainly stuck in my head at the moment). And now after a few plays i'm lovin the vocals as well, George Jones certainly springs to mind.

Secondly The Damphools and their promising debut album Damn the Hard Times, including their versions of "Sing Me Back Home" and "Why Baby Why"
