Frightened Rabbit's new live acoustic album Liver Lung FR is out now!! The track listing is the same as Midnight Organ Fight. FYI: It is available on emusic. There is a great version of "Twist!"
The brothers tore it up yet again. They sound much more cohesive lately as Farley is really contributing perfectly with his washboard, fiddle, and pots and pans. Simon's passion, Ian and Jimmy's husky vocals, and Christmas's social anxiety made for quite a show. Videos of "Saved" and "X-Mas song (Mercy)" are below.
I talked to Dan, the manager of The Felice Brothers, and he expects a new album to be released by March!!
Setlist:
1929 (new) Murder by Mistletoe Whiskey in my Whiskey Christmas Song (Mercy) Helen Fry Ruby Mae Where'd You Get Your Liquor Ambulance Man (Coney Island) (new) Chicken Wire (new) GD You, Jim Love Me Tenderly Saved (new) Run, Chicken, Run (new) Don't Wake the Scarecrow Frankie's Gun Penn Station (new) Two Hands (with members of Deer Tick)(Townes Van Zandt cover)
Deer Tick blew me away also. I purchased their disc "War Elephant" at the show and have been blasting it since. I would highly recommend purchasing it if you like alt-country/folky tunes like The Felice Brothers and Langhorne Slim.
Releases are pretty sparse this week. The only half-way interesting releases are:
Lucinda Williams - Little Honey The Decemberists - Always the Bridesmaid - A Single Series Vol. 1. Secret Machines - S/T I'm From Barcelona - Who Killed Harry Houdini
More importantly, The Felice Brothers are making their debut in Oxford, Mississippi at Proud Larry's this Wednesday, October 15th. The brothers always put on an astounding live show.

Another great DBT show. An obvious highlight was "Rockin In the Free World." The crowd was large and very into the show. You gotta love Trucker fans. DBT played a good bit of obscure songs, which I enjoyed, but I could have used a couple more Dirty South tunes. I really wanted to hear "Two Daughters and a Beautiful Wife," from Brighter but oh well. Video of "Rockin in the Free World" in Oxford below, and also download "Rockin' In the Free World" played on 9/14/08 HERE.

"Rockin in the Free World" Live in Oxford, MS
Don Chambers and Goat opened for the Truckers and was very impressive. They reminded me of Tom Waits with a little alt-country dashed in. The ladder drum was undoubtedly the highlight, as was the random gorilla that appeared on stage with Patterson Hood.
