Alt-Country, Rock |
Blistering and riff-heavy rock with a dose of twang from an emerging Northwest four-piece. The group is now getting spins at Seattle's alt-rock trendsetter KCMU.

Alt-Country |
An achingly lovely honky-tonk ballad that's soon to be a classic.

|
Alt-Country, Alternative |
Another timeless classic from the Trees, a majestically aching ballad stoked by funky congas, beautiful guitar playing, and Mark Lanegan's soulful croon. Will these gents ever get their just due?

|
Alt-Country |
Zen-banjo master (and Bad Livers frontman) Danny Barnes may not be your pappy’s idea of bluegrass, but when it comes to the genre’s singer/songwriters, he’s the mackin’-est.

Rainy Day Blues (feat. Jonny Lang) |
WinMedia |
|
Alt-Country |
A rainy day recording session with Uncle Willie starts off laid-back, then gets increasingly mellow and smoke-filled as the day goes on. Special guest Jonny Lang gets to light the bong!

Alt-Country |
This is one "ride" you'll never forget -- a high-lonesome home run from alt-country's reigning sweetheart.

Rodeo & Juliet |
MP3 |
|
Alt-Country |
If this song's any indication, rodeo riders aren't as macho as they used to be. You'll want to keep your puke bag handy, cowpoke.

Running From Love |

|
Alt-Country |
David Olney, the consummate lonesome folksinger, runs like hell from love and relationships and in the process comes up with a memorable exercise in heartache.

Service And Repair |

|
Alt-Country |
There’s more than a ghost of a chance that Giant Sand fans (and others who favor gothic Southwestern roots rock) will choose to forego the beaten track to follow Sand men John Convertino and Joey Burns down this lost highway of spooky sonic shadows and blue flickering lights.

Alt-Country, Alternative |
Is it alt-country or is it rock? Hell, who cares -- Chuck Cleaver & Co. have delivered yet another roots-flavored rock and roll pearl guaranteed to please both the Wilco and the Smashing Pumpkins set.
