| DAWES "Out in Los Angeles, where weed grows wild and hair grows long, Dawes are some of the most promising purveyors of new-school country folk. Their debut album achieves the rare feat of sounding so authentically vintage that it's hard to complain about how much they echo Creedence here ("God Rest My Soul"), Crosby there ("If You Let Me Be Your Anchor") and the Band elsewhere ("When My Time Comes"). Producer Jonathan Wilson gives the affair a living-room vibe, so that even the boldest songs (the achingly beautiful "That Western Skyline") sound like they arose in the midst of a jam session. And in fact, they just might have." --Rolling Stone myspace.com/dawestheband CORY CHISEL & THE WANDERING SONS Like many artists before him, Cory Chisel first connected with the power of song - and the spellbinding possibilities of live performance - through the music he heard in church. The gospel's rich vernacular of loss and redemption also informed his innate poetic sense and lyrical range. An equally potent influence on Chisel's worldview and wellspring of musical storytelling is the American heartland from which he hails. Based in Appleton, WI, where he's lived for almost twenty years. He also cites his Uncle Roger, a blues musician - whose epic record collection exposed him to Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Robert Johnson, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and countless others - as a chief source of inspiration. corychisel.com JASON BOESEL For the last 15 years, LA-based drummer Jason Boesel has been planted firmly behind the kit, keeping time for the likes of Rilo Kiley, Bright Eyes, The Elected, and more recently, Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band. Boesel was inspired to pick up the guitar and write his own record after his friends raved about the first song he ever wrote: "Hustler's Son." Now, a few studio sessions later, Jason Boesel announces his solo debut for Team Love Records: Hustler's Son, out January 12. myspace.com/jasonboesel |
