for those in atlanta, on july 10 jason isbell will be doing an instore @ criminal at 7 pm before his show at the earl. i will attempt to remind everyone as we get closer to the date, but mark it in your calendars or keep it in your lock box in the most likely case i forget.
you like the stones, right? then you probably even like the faces? or maybe even a little skynyrd? what about the burrito bros? yeah, me too! then these dudes outta canada, lions in the street are going to freakin rip whatever joint you happen to be inhabitating at the time. the beauty behind their ep, cat got your tounge is that its not in the business of making you question what they are all about. the goats head soup era “already gone” kicks shit off something fierce and leaves the rock n roll stranglehold on ya until “your gonna lose” closes out the ep 4 songs later. sometimes, i really dont wanna think, i just wanna fuckin strum my pant leg and sing into my imaginary mic. if lions in the street dont wanna make you do as such then you are dead to me. btw, cat got your tounge can be downloaded for free via their site. in case you need convincing here are two tracks from their ep.
its a damn shame that michael penn has to go through life mostly identified as sean and chris’ brother and/or mr aimee mann. michael has been releasing amazing records since 1989’s march, which contained the out of left field hit “no myth.” he’s an artist that i would have a hard time saying one record is better than the other cause they are all fantastic. although, resigned is my favorite.
here he is peforming in northampton, ma on 5.307. thanks to the original taper!

If Lions in the Street opened for Kings of Leon, there would be bottles flying by the end of the night….and it would be one hell of a show.
Thanks for posting this Michael Penn show.
He’s one of the best songwriters alive today. His live shows are just amazing.
Thanks for posting the Michael Penn tracks. He’s one of my favorites. He stopped his tour this year and canceled his Wisconsin shows for some reason, so I didn’t get to see him. Love his stuff!
Can’t get the Michael Penn concert tracks to play for some reason. Hoping you might e-mail me to potentially set up a trade. I have a fair amount of rare Michael Penn stuff. Hope to hear from you.
