Those sons of country pioneers are a bunch of shapeshiters. Shooter Jennings has crafted something along the lines of a vaugely Skynyrdian take on Tool, complete with paranoid Art Bell radio inserts. I dunno, I dug it. It beats the arch-Americana one unfortunately expects and often gets from a dude whose dad we all love too much. The Mother Hips make me wanna go on a road trip; in fact I am this weekend, so I'll bring them along.
On my second trip to the book bazaar I saw a weathered copy of Nilsson Sings Newman and it made me wonder why no one does that anymore. How come there isn't a Banhart sings Oldham record out there? I bet it would be pretty. Until there is, Calexico is taking up the slack with their bio-luminescent cover of a Will Oldham number from the early Palace years.
