"...Terry Anderson doesn't try to reinvent the music, he just distills it
to its glorious essence - fast, loud and, above all, fun - and he does it with
an uproarious, hick-happy brilliance. Anderson can do straight-up and melodic
in winning fashion - see the likes of "Weather or Not" and "Sunday
Dress." But most of the time the North Carolinian and his mighty OAKTeam
are gleefully tearing up pea patches like "Daddy Had a Wreck" and "I
Feel a Drunk Comin' On." The influences are obvious - NRBQ, Faces, Chuck
Berry, etc. - but it's also clear how smartly and colorfully Anderson twists them
to create his own indelible rock-and-roll personality." -- Nick Cristiano,

After 10+ years of rockin' the international honky tonk circuit with his bands,
as a solo artist and playing guitar for the likes of Waylon Jennings, Ray Price,
and The Supersuckers, Austin's Jesse Dayton made the decision to pay homage to
the classic country duet recordings that he grew up on in the 70's. He found the
Tammy to his George in the up and coming Austin singer/songwriter Brennen Leigh.

Ronny Elliott was born in 1947. He insists that rock'n'roll was, too. On ""Jalopypaint"",
his first release of new material in three years, the Tampa Flash continues his
dark tales of heroes gone wrong and villains redeemed. Mojo Magazine describes
Elliott as "Craggy but literary country blues like Jerry Lee Lewis if he
were a beat poet or Townes Van Zandt with a Ph.D..." (Blue Heart records)

On
the Hurting Business, Chuck Prophet produces dark tales where downtown rock collides
with uptown soul - where his rootsy guitar work is contrasted with turntable samples.
These are some very modern urban blues that the gruff-voiced, ex-Green On Red
guitarist sings about - it's a world where "Dick Clark's got the Tombstone
Blues." (Cooking Vinyl)

Amongst the last releases on Sun Records were a pair of singles by Randy &
the Radiants, one of the most popular teen combos in Memphis in the mid-1960s.
The group are a fascinating anomaly within the Sun catalogue, for they represent
Sam Phillips' attempt to get back at the British Invasion with a Beatle-styled
group of his own. Track Listing: My Way Of Thinking/Nobody Walks Out On Me (Version
2)/Be Good While I'm Gone/Truth From My Eyes/You Are The One/Peek-A-Boo/
The daughter of a Virginia coal miner, Karen Collins` hardscrabble honky tonk
effortlessly bridges the gap between authentic and modern, deftly avoiding the
retro cliches that bedevil so many others that try to keep the old traditions
alive. Collins suffers no fools. Using her zesty voice and backed by a an exemplary
band Collins isn`t afraid to show a man the door if he has done her wrong. Her
originals stand alongside a handful of honky tonk gems. Throughout this excellent
disc, Collins` roots are showing. In this case, though, that`s a very good thing
if you happen to love honky tonk. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (self-released)
From the dusty red arroyos of America's southwest and the verdant hills of Portland,
Oregon comes the Juanita Family. Their plaintive tales amble comfortably in the
tradition of vintage country artists like Patsy Cline and Woody Guthrie, with
an ease and authentic style all their own - never to cutesy or retro. A sweet
surprise from the group also known as the Last Of The Juanitas - when they're
playing a noisy brand of math metal. None of that here, though. In this guise,
the lackadaisical joy of Lana Rebel's vocals meanders over heart-tugging tunes,
unadorned and breathtakingly honest. (self-released)
Urgency and insurgency are at the root of The Lonesomes` "Quick Fixes &
Power Trips," the Portland quartet`s rocking follow-up to their breezier
2004 debut "Circling The Sun." Bolstered by the addition of lead guitarist
Mark Dybvig (Thrillbilly), The Lonesomes have delivered 12 varied takes on 70s
rock that are both sweet and searing. Literate and character-driven in a way similar
to early Springsteen, the tunes put a modern spin on timeless themes of war, God
and love, at times echoing the disappointment of an American public that feels
duped. The overall sound, though, is much more early Jayhawks and Velvet Crush.
Produced by 44 Long`s Brian Berg (John Doe, Robert Pollard), who lends keyboards
and occasional backing vocals, "Quick Fixes & Power Trips" is an
edgy romp in the vein of Drive-By Truckers and Son Volt, where intimate story-telling
meets heavy guitar licks, fish-hook bass lines and machine-gun drum rolls. (self-released)
The sweet, rootsy pop of The Lonesomes breezes about with a curiously sinister
naivet. The Portland, OR trio swings from airy to brooding with lackadaisical
ease on their debut, Circling The Sun. There`s no lack of rock though, as evident
with a small handful of numbers that blaze with near-psychedelic fervor. With
a sound that recalls a mix between Wilco and Big Star, perhaps fronted by a twangy
Wayne Coyne, this debut offers a unique soundscape filled with spacious melody
and a haunting vibe. Lead vocalist and guitarist Phil Favorite possesses a somewhat
tentative, slightly unnerved, hushed voice that keeps these pop-ish melodies on
edge, providing the same experience for the listener. The 13 tracks on Circling
The Sun were produced by Brian Berg (44 Long, John Doe, Stephen Malkmus &
The Jicks), who also adds keys, cello and vocals, as well as guest guitarists
Peter Frajola and Caleb Miles. (self-released) 
The second album by Arkansas` Salty Dogs continues the emulate the "Ghost
of Buck, Spirit of Dwight" sound from their first album. Brad Williams`s
songs are pure and honest as he effortlessly moves from country to gospel and
back. The backing musicians, Bart Angel (drums), Mike Nelson (bass) and Nick Devlin
(guitars and lap steel) are a terrific country band. The beauty of this album
is it captures that same kind of magic Dwight Yoakam offered up 20 years ago and
Owens long before him. The music is essentially rural, but not primitive. It is
every man, but the folks in the big city can relate. Second time out and the Salty
Dogs have again produced an excellent real country record. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles
of Music (Big Bender)
Mix the bouncy, clever power pop of Fountains of Wayne and anthemic choruses --
complete with entire band sing-alongs -- of 80s punk/college rock and you will
quickly get a sense of the Star Spangles. Guitars are influenced by the Johnnys:
Ramone and Thunders. This release might not change the world`s problems, but for
13 gloriously fun tracks, you might forget for a few minutes that the outside
world exists. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Tic Records) 
While this might seem like a backwards reference, Three Day Threshold are like
the Pogues, but doing country. Against The Grain is rowdy fun, a super-charged
roots-rock assault with glorious choruses primed for a drunken sing-along. If
this record is any indication, they must be a smokin live band because on disc
they tear it up. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Hi-N-Dry)
