Earle Steve & the Dukes: Times Like These [Vinyl 7"]

Workin' Man: Willie Sings Merle is Willie Nelson's 78th solo studio album and 155th album overall. It features Willie's new interpretations of classic songs written by Merle Haggard, the latest in Nelson's storied history of focusing entire albums on a single songwriter's or artist's work. Nelson and Haggard were longtime friends and collaborators who released three collaborative albums together: 1983's Pancho and Lefty, 2007's Last Of The Breed (alongside Ray Price) and 2015's Django and Jimmie. Eleven of Willie's favorite Merle compositions were handpicked for the album. Nelson's new performances include songs from various parts of the legend's career, from tracks off of Merle's first #1 Country album, 1966's Swinging Doors ("Swinging Doors," "Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down") and late 60s career defining hits ("Mama Tried," "Okie From Muskogee") to 70s classics (the heart-breaking holiday track "If We Make It Through December," the southern-rock tinged "Ramblin' Fever") and Merle's #1 honky-tonk classic from 1980 "I Think I'll Just Stay Here And Drink." Produced by the artist with longtime collaborator Mickey Raphael, the album was recorded at Nelson's Pedernales Studios in Austin and features the final recordings he did alongside longtime Family band members "Sister Bobbie" Nelson and Paul English. Constants in Nelson's personal and professional world longer than anyone, Sister Bobbie on piano and English on drums are joined by Raphael on harmonica, Kevin Smith on bass and Paul's brother Billy English on drums and percussion.

Efter 10 års uppehåll kommer Bourbon Boys med sin tredje platta "Forever Rebels". Bandet har under sin karriär hunnit kamma hem två guldskivor för singlarna "Hillbilly Heart" (Shotguns, Trucks & Cattle) och "Taxman" (Hail to the Chief).<br/><br/>Det svenska countrybandet Bourbon Boys etablerades 2011 av sångaren och kompositören Pär Hulkoff (Raubtier, HULKOFF) samt av gitarristen och tillika producenten Jonas Kjellgren (Scar Symmetry, Raubtier) bägge två kända namn inom den svenska metalscenen.<br/><br/>Albumet "Forever Rebels" levererar ett klassiskt gitarrdrivet countrysound med influenser hämtade ifrån bland annat sjuttiotalets Outlaw-legender och rockig country från senare decennium. Plattan bjuder på snabba chicken pickin'-gitarrer och stadiga trainbeats - men även lågmälda ballader med en lyrik som berättar om havererade liv, en oförlåtande natur, samt okuvlig kärlek.
