If You Should Ever Fall On Hard Times
The Iguanas
(YepRoc)
Only a long-time New Orleans group like the Iguanas could brew up such a savory, blended gumbo
of R&B, jazz, Latin, Tex-Mex, funk, rock and soul.
Sinuous horn lines, tough guitars, and sexy laid-back rhythms.
Good with crawdads.
Faster Than A Stone
Brandon Jenkins
(Smith)
Pared down,lean, and packing a Red Dirt punch.
Brandon, as always, writes and sings (in top form here on both counts), but this time he also plays electric guitar, and is accompanied only by bass, drums, and backing vocals. A good time is had by all. Heck, Brandon's even smiling on the cover!
Self-Titled
Abigail Washburn & Sparrow Quartet
(Nettwerk)
This ain't your grandpa's banjo. Washburn & Bela Fleck on banjos team up with Ben Sollee on cello & Casey Dreissen on fiddle and explore blues, Chinese ballads, gospel, Khazak melodies and jazz.
Strange Things, indeed.
Trouble In Mind
Hayes Carll
(Lost Highway)
A large cast of loveable losers populates these catchy tunes, delivered with Carll's laid-back humor and lazy drawl. A thoroughly likeable breath of fresh Gulf Coast air for these troubled times.
