Quiet Hollers - I Am The Morning

It's shaping up to be a good year for Kentucky music. Houndmouth is opening the Iroquois Amphitheater summer concert season and having a New Albanian beer named after them. Fifth on the Floor has a new album out and is rubbing elbows with some pretty big names. And Shadwick Wilde's new band, Quiet Hollers, is doing its part by putting out a great new album with a release show at Headliners on May 18th. I first heard Shadwick on his solo release from a couple years back.  I liked that album and still catch myself humming a couple of the songs off of it.  That said, I think this album is a big leap for Shadwick.  The production sounds better and the band really fills out the sound on this one.  You can buy it right now on Itunes, Amazon, and CD Baby.

An In My Basement Room Sampler: Songs about Guitars

 Here is another issue in the series of IMBR Primer/Samplers.  I tried to stick with songs that feature the guitar as an animate object with human characteristics, but I wasn't too strict with that rule.  I also tried to use artists that you won't find in the top 40, so you won't find "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" but I did let the Jamey Johnson/Bill Anderson tune in because it is just so good.  The collection ended up being heavy on the bluegrass/country side of things so I'm not sure what that means.  What would you have included/excluded?
