Husky Burnette Feature Write Up On Nooga.com For His Album Re-Release

Link to original article on Nooga.com

"Chattanooga native Brian "Husky" Burnette creates music that has its roots wound deep around the sounds of blues and classic rock ‘n’ roll. His songs pitch and turn as each fiery rhythm is laid bare and every Southern detail is explored. His voice is steeped in the history of his native state, a melodic rebellion born of a desire to create and share a collection of personal experiences. His voice is deep and rumbling, like a storm front rolling in over the mountains, but his voice is surprisingly light and malleable—although you can be sure there’s still enough punch to knock the air from your lungs.

To go along with the deluxe rerelease of his previous record, "Tales from East End Blvd," Burnette and his label have shared a new video for album cut "That Liquor." It’s a ferocious stomper that pairs a series of sweltering guitar riffs with Burnette's inimitably brusque voice—it’s the perfect combination to convey this kind of bucolic, whiskey-soaked story. He seems born to sing this song, a rollicking, rough-around-the-edges burner that's determined to kick in your door and share some hard-earned wisdom. His raw melodies and even rougher voice take delight in the seedier moments of life and in their communal conveyance. The song introduces us to the late-night juke joint atmosphere that Burnette and his music inhabit. It's a place of smoky shadows and dangerous characters, and I can't wait to go back."

Check out the great interview with Husky Burnette On Real Deep Blues
 

"Husky Burnette's Tales From East End Blvd has been re-released with four new songs- two covers and two originals, each played with Husky's signature grinding stomp and holler. I asked Husky for a run down of the tracks:

Best I Can is a fictional tune about the age old subject in Blues about having big women, ugly women, etc. 

Butter My Cornbread is straight up about getting it on. Nothing more, nothing else. Just sweating it out! 

Skinny Woman is an RL Burnside tune I've been playing since I started this solo thing. 

So Doggone Lonesome is a Johnny Cash cover. We worked it up as one of our 3 songs to play at a Johnny Cash Birthday Bash one year and we dug it so much that we wanted it recorded."

Stevie Tombstone Sings The Troubadour Blues, Along With Ralph White For The Altco Sessions

Stevie Tombstone Sings The Troubadour Blues, Along With Ralph White For The Altco Sessions

Photographer Jeff Harris has been working with Stevie Tombstone and Ralph White as of late on the Altco Sessions and has been welcomed into the crew this year. He recently followed Stevie T and Ralph White to Marfa, Texas where they kicked off a national tour / rolling recording session in September 2015. The trio gathered some candid shots during songwriting and recording breaks as well as some good dashboard scenery. The song Troubadour Blues was originally written and published almost a decade ago and finally saw light in the midst of an impromptu recording session at South Austin's Million Dollar Sound. The core session features longtime friend and bassist John Duer and Daughter of Country Music legend Shelli Coe on backing vocals. Stevie decided to track the tune on a whim and the rest of the pieces fell into place with the timely additon of ex-Bad Liver Ralph Whites classic fiddle style and Banjo tracks phoned in as they say by Buck Thrailkill. The single Troubadour Blues is available on from Altco Recordings.

It's Great To See A Review For Outlaw Country Artist's Such As Whitey Morgan To Get A Review On The Needle Drop

It's great to see outlaw country artist's such as Whitey Morgan get a review on the youtube channel The Needle Drop. This is good for several reasons. Anthony reviews a ton of albums and also churns up a ton of views on his channel so it is guaranteed to get picked up by a lot of other media channels. The other element that is damn cool is how straight forward he is within the review and about the music itself. 

Many times I can be personally at odds with a review as sometimes the description can be just about one particular song and not look at the album as a whole. Anthony really dives in to each album and talks on them with a deep listen and it shows when within his descriptions. Kudo's to Whitey on the great album and getting a solid review outside of the main country areas.

Listen To Stevie Tombstone and Ralph White Interview On Marfa, Texas Public Radio 93.5

"Austin-based troubadours Ralph White and Stevie Tombstone join us for a conversation and some live pickin’ and singin’ on this episode of West Texas Talk.

White, formerly of the punk-ish bluegrass band the Bad Livers, isn’t a pop star. But he’s highly regarded in underground music circles for his psychedelic and decidedly non-traditionalist take on traditional music. A tree trimmer by day, he’s made his music career by self-recording and releasing his material, or partnering with small-scale record labels.

Tombstone’s music occupies a similar realm of modern readings on old songs, though he’s quick to say he’s not one to dwell on the past – he prefers writing and performing his own material over relying on old standards.

Still, his songs are connected to the history of American roots music – by blood. Tombstone, a Georgia native, is a descendant of Clayton McMichen, a once-popular string band leader from the early 20th century.

Ralph White and Stevie Tombstone joined us in the studio for a few songs and some talk before departing back out on tour. Their latest records are available on Altco Recordings."

Final Fantasy VII Buster Sword Build, Created By Michael Cthulu of Discovery's Big Giant Swords

If you haven't had a chance yet to watch the full builds on youtube or the show that was on Discovery channel, do yourself a favor and check out the work of Michael Cthulu. The swords seem decorative at first as they are all based around fantasy video games and lore, but they are well put together and go through a battery of tests to prove their worth. Quite a good watch and enjoy the quirkiness of the craftsman himself. 

Freedom Road Updates - Motorcycle Run And Band Showcase Will Take Place In Philadelphia on September 26th.

Freedom Road Motorcycle Run And Band Showcase Will Take Place In Philadelphia on September 26th.

So you are here because you want more info on what exactly is Freedom Road? Well dear friends, this is an action packed weekend on September 26th that has two adventures or they can be combined into one. For all the two wheeled brethren in the Mid Atlantic, Freedom Road is a bike run from Ocean View in the Norfolk, Virginia area to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that will cut straight up highway 13 through the eastern shore of Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. The bike run is 300 miles of highway, back country roads and coastal riding that will leave a smile for miles. 

Freedom Road is set for September 26th! Yes, traffic will be heavy around central Philadelphia, but nothing else effects the event. The Compound, where shenanigans will be going off, is well out of the Pope zone in the downtown Philly area. But do plan your routes and travel times in advance. So go early and come for the rowdiness. For area travel, just check out 6abc.com for all the streets that will be closed down. Interstate 95 will be thick, but the exits will be open that will drop ya right off at the compound or plan to flank the area from local streets. Either way, we are bringin' one hell of a night to Philadelphia!

Watch The Newest Video From Dead Soldiers, Entitled Wicked River

As a music label, merch production company and diehard music fan there are many reasons for us to be at Muddy Roots Music Festival. From the welcoming atmosphere and positive vibe, to the vast array of friends that we have made directly from the festival itself. But ultimately the reason we go, is that being a part of a great music scene requires much more than just enjoying the tunes. It is about the individual people you meet, the camaraderie, the late night conversations that seem to linger on for a few years and the proof in the puddin' of a notion is that to have a real music scene, you have to be a part of it. Who cares if your band is not playing, go be a part of something bigger than any individual and contribute to a scene that only requires you to show up and have a good time. Stop by the booth and have a beer or twenty with us!
