Singer/songwriter and generally cool guy, Drew Kennedy releases his new album An Audio Guide to Cross Country Travel Tuesday. I'll leave the reviews to the pros, but trust me, this is a great album (already in FTM's top 15 of the year), filled with soulful vocals and thoughtful lyrics. Drew may be a part of the Texas scene but he's a different animal altogether. Far from frat-country, his songs are well-crafted and literate. His rich voice may take some getting used to for some, but once you get it, you love it. Give Drew and his new album a listen!

YouTube Gems: Wrinkle Neck Mules
I just discovered Wrinkle Neck Mules last year, but they've quickly become one of my favorite bands. They are an addictive alt-country band with bluegrassy vocals and strong storytelling. I couldn't find any live performances of songs from their latest album (and definite FTM top 10 of '09) Let the Lead Fly, but here's "Mecklenburg County" from their album Pull the Brake. The term "Americana" is too-frequently thrown around to describe any band that's vaguely rootsy, but I think in this case, it is most apt.
