Bosque Brown : Plays Mara Lee Miller is #113 on the CMJ top 200, the 5th week on the charts. Saxon Shore : Luck Will Not Save Us from a Jackpot of Nothing is #149, the 7th week charting. Thanks to everyone who keeps playing these releases.
Bust magazine has this to say about the Bosque Brown album:
“…after several listens, I now like Bosque Brown more than Damien Jurado…she squeezes all of the intensity of Cat Power into her vocals, while referencing her country-blues roots–Hank Williams twangs and Robert Johnson pangs–with such a sincere ferocity, you’d think her soul was spilling out.”
I was going to see Chinese Stars play at the Unitarian Church tonight, but they cancelled. I’m home getting caught up on orders before I go away to Chicago this weekend.
