Rodney Parker’s upcoming release getting good buzz
Hey, look! Somebody's taking a picture of us loitering outside this ramshackle shack!
One of my favorite music blogs, Hickory Wind, called my attention to the upcoming disc from Rodney Parker & 50 Peso Reward.
The Lonesome Dirge releases on April 8, but some enterprising retailers are selling it this Friday.
Early reviews make it sound like a great disc:
"Rodney Parker is the best new singer-songwriter I’ve heard this year. Bring on the challengers. I don’t expect him to be dethroned. “The Lonesome Dirge” will be on my list of the top ten discs of 2008."
You can preview some tracks here. In addition to the originals on the disc, there are covers of Springsteen's "Atlantic City" and Kinky Friedman's "Wild Man From Borneo."
The CD release party is this Friday at the Granada.
