Guess I'm a little late to the party. I just discovered Amanda when Iaan put one of her songs on the ND podcast a couple weeks ago. I've been listening to her record since then and can't get enough.

WPA
September 16, 2009
The White Mule, Columbia SC

With their brand spanking new album only a day old, the first official tour of the Works Progress Administration promised to be something special, and it lived up to its billing as a meeting of talent from three different directions. The touring unit of the WPA consists of fiddler/singer Luke Bulla (Lyle Lovett), guitarist/singer Sean Watkins (Nickel Creek), and guitarist/singer Glen Phillips (Toad TContinue

Drivin N' Cryin restarts their own musical bubble factory

Whatever Happened To The Great American Bubble Factory, the new Drivin' N' Cryin' album, is due out at the end of the month. From the MC5 and Stooges-inspired "Detroit City" to the sentimental ode to homesickness, "I See Georgia," (complete with a Deacon Lunchbox reference, cool...) it's the best set of songs Kinney and company have come up with in years, and to hear Kinney talk about being inspired by Bobby Bare Jr and the Drive-By Truckers (band… Continue

The Hillbilly Burlesque of Hick'ry Hawkins

The first piece I ever contributed to the print version of No Depression was a CD review of Anarky, Tennessee, the debut of punkabilly honky-tonker Hick'ry Hawkins. I mention this because Hawkins (Currently based in Charlotte, NC) is still out there playing his unique brand of traditional country propped up with punk rock, and because I lucked into catching an unusual solo set from him last night at The Mill LounContinue

At 2:19pm on October 1, 2009, Kirsten DeHaan said…
The eagerly anticipated digital release of Kirsten DeHaan’s EP “Thorns On A Crown” is right around the corner. On Tuesday October 6, the new and highly acclaimed alternative rock singer and songwriter’s songs can be purchased at major online retailers such as iTunes, Amazon.com, Napster, and EMusic. Kirsten has developed quite a following in a relatively short period of time, because of the uniqueness of her voice and style, which has been compared to the sweetness of Liz Phair, a soft, airy quality like that of Sia, and the rich alto of Fiona Apple.

In the meantime, register and download her single "1984" for free at HYPERLINK "http://kdlocal.com" http://kdlocal.com
