Kern has been getting a slow and steady foothold on his new release and he's about to hit the road this summer for the East Coast. Mr. Richards has been racking up airplay and great reviews already and we know he's just getting started. A word from No Depression- "Don't expect no "Happy go lucky" here but do expect much brutally honest lyrics and some great arrangements which I was pleasantly surprised. Anywhere but home is the perfect name for the record which tells stories of lonesome, highways, 24hr cafes,booze, lost love, injustices and everything that comes with. Richards voice really stands out and sounds like" its been in a smoke house for several days and placed on the highway only to be hit by a semi truck". Get the whole shootin match here.

ALTCO is a brand new imprint label within Rusty Knuckles being helmed by none other than Stevie Tombstone. After working with a few varying music labels over the last couple of years, Stevie wanted to have a place that he could call home.

The imprint label of ALTCO is a welcome addition to the Rusty Knuckles team and will become an integral part of the line up featuring artists more directly focused on Folk Country Blues. Right out of the gate we will be adding much of Stevie Tombstone's back catalog of albums including Slow Drunken Waltz, Greenwood and previously unheard material from The Tombstones.

"I am damn excited to finally be the captain of my own ship and to be able to focus on a solid outlet for all of my material and projects that I would like to have my finger print on. A place where my music can be heard and I control all aspects from marketing to distribution, without sacrificing quality or having to bow down to corporate wannabes."
