So I go to see Bobby Bare, Jr. (on the great Bloodshot label) play the other night in some shitty dive bar in Denton, a small college town about an hour from Dallas, and there couldn’t have been more than 60 people in there. Damn shame. This dude deserves to be selling out much bigger venues. Check out a couple of his tracks here or here. (especially Let’s Rock & Roll and The Terrible Sunrise)

So what kind of music does Bloodshot put out?…
“What do we call it? We call it music, buddy boy. If you want unaffected rock and roll, we got it. You want some old school honky tonk untarnished by the shit Nashville has chosen to promote for the last generation? We got it. Psychedelic-inflected roots or catchy pop gems? Look no further. You want blistering fast psychobilly or thrash-grass? Yup, we got that, too.”
…just don’t call it alt-country. They don’t like that.

Get the BBJ tee here or the Bloodshot one here.
