Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore – Troubadour (LA, CA)
Alvin, the founder of the seminal punk-roots band The Blasters, and Gilmore, of the pioneering country-folk trio The Flatlanders, team up to play music from their first-ever collaboration, Downey To Lubbock (Yep Roc). The new album explores the musical history of America’s past 100 years and features covers of classic New Orleans R&B, Texas and West Coast country, traditional folk and early rock ’n’ roll.
