Rachel Brooke Album News, Tour w/ Those Poor Bastards
Rachel Brooke’s much-anticipated release Down In The Barnyard has been given an official release date of February 22nd. It can be pre-ordered now and you can peruse her other swag at http://rachelbrooke.bigcartel.com/.
Rachel’s work on albums like A Bitter Harvest have made fans huger for that one seminal release from her, and by all accounts, this will be the one. She has been working very hard on it and has been uncompromising, while taking some risks as well. “I have been recording it at home, and have been playing just about all the instruments on it.” A few songs from the new album will be debuted on Outlaw Radio tonight (1-26-11) on SCM LIVE at 8 PM Central, and later will be archived on episode 129 on the Outlaw Radio Page. There will also be a tribute to Charlie Louvin tonight at 6:30 Central.
Both Rachel and Lonesome Wyatt of Those Poor Bastards are heavily influenced by Louvin who passed away today, and the two acts will be touring together in March, heading into April. You will be able to find the dates shortly on the newly revamped Saving Country Music calendar. A big shout out goes to Gillian for ponying up her time to make sure it is updated regularly for all of us.

I’m hoping those TBA dates turn into Montana dates. I think the odds are a little against me though.

Been a fan of TPB for far too long without being able to see them live. I’m one of those rarities that got into them from their records alone. Like a perv who loves to listen to porn.

TPB I think of mostly as a recorded project first. It’s not that there live show isn’t good, but it is a totally different experience. With just two people, you don’t get all the layers and depth that you get recorded, but you do get more energy and rawness.

Really looking forward to this release. Can’t make any of the shows… I’m a foreigner.

Finally! Too bad regarding the lack of shows down here in the South, but I imagine the album is going to be simply phenomenal.
Such a tremendous talent.

Agreed! Love Miss Rachel and her unforced and natural voice, so tremendous live! Look forward to her tour and a big thank you for the calender, SCM!

I can’t believe there are no WI dates on there :(. Jahshie looks like I will coming to Chicago to you after all. Get .357 on that bill and that would be the perfect show.
