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

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."


Come On In: An Interview With Husky Burnette On Real Deep Blues

Come On In: An 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.

Husky Burnette Launches New Video For The Song, That Liquor
Husky Burnette has finished up a few great things before he is about to unleash his brand new album. One of those great items is a repackaged version of his current album and to release a live video for the track, That Liquor. Do yourself a favor and pour a stiff drink for this one. Filmed live at Brew & Cue in Chattanooga, TN it was a wild night and one in which you get to see just how Husky gets the crowd moving to that low down and dirty style of blues that has become his calling card.

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.

Continental Signs With Rusty Knuckles Music, Featuring Rick Barton, Founding Member of Dropkick Murphy's
We are damn proud to announce that Continental has signed with Rusty Knuckles Music! Continental is the latest project from Rick Barton whose resume also includes notable Boston acts a founding member of the The Outlets, Everybody Out! and Dropkick Murphys.

"For the better part of the last three years venues from concert halls to basement bars have resonated with the sound of Granite City Rock & Roll. Continental uses their Quincy, MA hometown moniker to describe their unique blend of rock that draws influences from punk, country, folk, and blues.

Founder and songwriter Rick Barton sings the songs of the every man, speaking to our common experiences of love, loss, wandering, and resurrection. The songs are as true and real as any from the English punk bands of the 70’s, capturing the energy of youth, yet delivered with the wisdom of a life lived.
