Just released DVD !!! - No Depression magazine calls it "superb." Texas Music magazine describes it as "all heart..." This feature length documentary captures Jon Dee Graham's legendary live shows while also lifting the curtain on this very private artist and offering a peek into his personal world. Appearances in the film include Alejandro Escovedo, James McMurtry, and Son Volt's Andrew Duplantis. Includes DVD extras and commentary track.

Bruce Hughes (from the Resentments, Scabs, or ex-Bob Schneider) bangs out 20 cosmic pop snapshots on this highly anticipated follow-up to his debut, Bluebird. Ranging from quiet acoustic to nervous electronica, from drunken cabaret to shimmery bubblegum, shorty explores Hughes' ever-expanding vision.

Let’s just get it out of the way right now: There’s no jug-playing in the South Austin Jug Band. You probably don’t want to classify their style as new-grass, but it’s in the vein of that sort of progressive acoustic. Of course that means there’s fiddle, mandolin, upright bass…but there’s also drumming, occasional electric guitar and even digital looping. And Beck. Comparisons, if they must be made, might meander more toward a Jack Johnson vibe, only more melodic and even more laid-back, or a low-intensity Grateful Dead (which, it should be noted, started out as a real jug band). Lead singer/acoustic guitarist James Hyland, whose tenor redefines mellow, would be quite happy if you’d just go with “bitchin’ tunes.”

Step inside Antone's Nightclub and witness the Band of Heathens call on the ghosts of rock and roll from the walls of this legendary club in Austin, Texas. Capturing the Heathens at their best, the two-disc DVD/CD set features previously unreleased songs, interviews, and candid footage of an American band that will make you believe in the power of music.

DBT s brand new album is a Southern gothic rock n' roll masterpiece with 19 songs adding up to over 75 minutes of pure rock n roll. The band continues its notorious 3-guitar attack with the promotion of longtime sidekick John Neff to full member. Patterson Hood contributes 9 songs to the album (The Righteous Path, Daddy Needs A Drink), 7 songs from Mike Cooley (A Ghost To Most, Lisa's Birthday) and 3 songs from Shonna Tucker (The Purgatory Line). This it the first time Shonna has written the songs for a DBT album. All this is enhanced with musical contributions from he legendary Spooner Oldham.

For those who take their country music seriously, "Honest for Once" will be a revelation. Comprised entirely of originals, the Doc Marshalls' second CD features gritty honky-tonk, fiery Cajun two-steps, and brutally honest songwriting.
