ryanadams_coldroses.jpg Ryan Adams "Cold Roses"
$13.99
Released in 2005 with his new backing band, The Cardinals, Adams went back to his country-rock roots with this double album. It's a fan favorite.
asylumst_spanksfor.jpg Asylum Street Spankers "Spanks for the Memories"
$13.99
This Austin based band released it's debut album in 1996. With a huge cult following, the Spankers uniquely mix acoustic blues with early jazz sounds and use no microphones or amplifiers at their shows. But don't worry, you can hear them, thanks to their usual heavy cast of guest musicians. A Spankers live show is like none you've ever seen
asylumst_spankermadness.jpg Asylum Street Spankers "Spanker Madness"
$15.99
The cover art for this 2000 release is a collection of propaganda posters associated with the cult film classic "Reefer Madness." The cover alone is enough to explain the theme. This hootenanny of an album is packed with musicians playing everything from washboards, bells, and ukuleles to a piece of metal they pulled off a band member's '67 Ford F100 parked in the studio driveway.
asylumst_myfavoriterecord.jpg Asylum Street Spankers "My Favorite Record"
$14.99
Released in 2002, this album has a retro-swing music sound to it. Once again, this band refuses to conform to any sort of genre of music and stands tall in their creativity.
asylumst_mecurial.jpg Asylum Street Spankers "Mecurial"
$15.99
Released in 2004, it's a wildly eclectic mix of genres rolled into a swinging good time album. Folk, rock, blues, jazz, new wave, and even punk come out of this band and merge as one sound. A riotous album and a good time.
asylumst_strawberry.jpg Asylum Street Spankers "Strawberry: Bootleg Series Vol 1"
$15.99
Released in 2005, this is the first volume of a collection of bootlegs the band released.
asylumst_pussycat.jpg Asylum Street Spankers "Pussycat: Bootleg Series Vol 2. Live Rarities"
$14.99
Released in 2006, it's volume 2 in the bootleg collection. I can only imagine what "Live Rarities" is referring to. Buy it and check it out for yourself.
lizards_lizardvision.jpg Austin Lounge Lizards "Lizard Vision"
$17.99
This live album released in 1991 is a great example of this band's musical style. Combine bluegrass and country and mix it with the authority-questioning attitude of rock-n-roll, and you've got the Loung Lizards. They have a comical aspect in their music that is hard to miss. Their music keeps you guessing.
lizards_paintmeonvelvet.jpg Austin Lounge Lizards "Paint Me On Velvet"
$17.99
Their self-described brand of music is "satirical bluegrass", but the Lounge Lizards like to poke fun at everything in American culture, and in every genre of music too! Great album, funny lyrics.
lizards_employee.jpg Austin Lounge Lizards "Employee Of The Month"
$16.99
In a word: Hilarious. Check out the parody song "Leonard Cohen's Day Job." It gets funnier each time you listen to it.
lizards_neveranadult.jpg Austin Lounge Lizards "Never An Adult Moment"
$16.99
This one's great. Standout's include the parody "Grunge Song" and "Rasputin's HMO".
lizards_strangenoises.jpg Austin Lounge Lizards "Strange Noises In The Dark"
$16.99
Their 2003 release is in their classic comical style and there's even a cameo by Kelly Willis doing a great impression of Loretta Lynn on "We always fight when we drink Gin."
benharper_welcometo.jpg Ben Harper "Welcome To The Cruel World"
$12.99
His 1994 debut album lays the foundation for the range of styles that influence Harper's music. A great album throughout, some songs burn with political conviction while other songs are full of tenderness and emotion. This album is the first in a long catalog of great albums by a truely original artist.
benharper_fightforyourmind.jpg Ben Harper "Fight For Your Mind"
$17.99
His sophomore album shows Harper as a growing and talented poet, as well as the explosive energy that captivates his audiences. The album's tracks range from melodic styles to epic jams. Great album.
benharper_willtolive.jpg Ben Harper "Will To Live"
$13.99
Released in 1997, the mix of songs on this album are catchier and, often, are borderline funk. It's a got a groovy sound and the melodies have a sense of rhythm that pull you into the song.
benharper_burntoshine.jpg Ben Harper "Burn To Shine"
$13.99
His 1999 album was a commercial success for Harper, and includes the song "Steal My Kisses", which was a top 20 Billboard single! The album is inovative yet rooted in blues/rock and folk sounds. Considered one of his best records, it's a great add to any rock collection.
benharper_diamonds.jpg Ben Harper "Diamonds On The Inside"
$18.99
Released in 2003, the album flows from track to track with sounds of funk, worldbeat grooves, and even some country twang. It's a smooth album throughout and shows you what really makes Ben Harper's heart burst with passion.
benharper_bothsides.jpg Ben Harper "Both Sides Of The Gun"
$18.99
His 2006 release is a double album and the tracks range from folk to hard rock. Disc one is made up of acoustic drivin, soft love songs. Disc two is the star on this double album. It's loaded with electric blues guitar, distored slide guitar and raw, socially conscious lyrics. It's a nine-song masterpiece and worth every penny. Ben Harper fans will rave over this album, it's one of his best.
blueoct_consent.jpg Blue October "Consent To Treatment"
$13.99
This Texas-based band's debut album is drivin by an unconventional, dynamic, and intelligent rock energy. Great lyrics and an alternative feel have kept this band at the top of the Texas rock scene and constantly touring. It's a solid debut album.
blueoct_historyforsale.jpg Blue October "History For Sale"
$10.99
Their follow-up album has an interesting story behind it's release. After the label dropped the band, they put the album out on an indie Dallas label. However, the ,now remastered, release is now distributed by the very label that dropped them. "Calling You" was featured on the soundtrack for "American Wedding," and the album, despite a dysfunctional launching, is well recieved by this band's many fans.
blueoct_arguewithtree.jpg Blue October "Argue With A Tree"
$15.99
Released in 2005, it's a full 2 hour 15 minute concert recorded live at the Lakewood Theater in Dallas, Texas on June, 4, 2004. It captures the band's intensity and their raw live shows. (This concert is also available on DVD and includes bonus tracks not on the CD)
blueoct_foiled.jpg Blue October "Foiled"
$15.99
Three years since Blue October's last studio album, 2006's "Foiled" keeps true to the eclectic mix of passionately delivered post-grunge that has built the band a core of loyal fans over the years. The single "Hate Me" managed to make it's way on the Billboard Hot Top 100 Singles list. Way to go, guys!
bobschneider_lonelyland.jpg Bob Schneider "Lonelyland"
$16.99
Bob is basically the reigning king of the famous Austin live music scene. This is not his debut album, but the first to be released in major distribution. His songs tell of drug abuse, angst, love lost, and often have bits of humor thrown in. With a mix of many different music styles, his songwriting shines through on many tracks including "2002" and "Big Blue Sea."
bobschneider_imgoodnow.jpg Bob Schneider "I'm Good Now"
$16.99
This 2004 release is laced with tracks that seem to flow from music genre to music genre: mainstream rock, anthem rock, alternative, folk/country, and even hip-hop rock! These songs don't mesh together, but, instead, stand out on their own, each very unique. "Captain Kirk" and "Medicine" are awesome songs, as well as the title track. One of our best-sellers in the store, and always recommended by our staff (who are all huge fans).
burdenbros_buried.jpg Burden Brothers "Buried In Your Black Heart"
$13.99
Two great bands merge to form one Texas-sized supergroup. Former lead singer for the Toadies and the drummer from the Reverend Horton Heat, have come together to form a hard-hitting, ass-kickin band! A heavy alternative sound and the famous vocals from Todd Lewis, make this album a great find for any rock fan.
davidgarza_euphoria.jpg David Garza "This Euphoria"
$11.99
It's considered one of the best rock albums of the 90's that got NO recognition. This album flat-out ROCKS! The feel of the whole album mixes powerful vocals, funk-beats, impressive guitarwork, catchy tunes but not pop-ish, and freaky soul psychedelia. He's a highly underrated artist with limitless talents. This record comes highly recommened by our staff, and everyone who buys it...calls back to thank us!
davidgarza_kingdomcome.jpg David Garza "Kingdom Come & Go"
$15.99
This is as edgy an acoustic record as you'll ever find. Garza takes the solo acoustic record concept to another level by adding a heavy dose of raw intensity. A great album filled with good songwriting and an interesting flow.
davidgarza_overdub.jpg David Garza "Overdub"
$12.99
On Overdub, Garza ditches the acoustic sound associated with wordsmiths and opts for electric guitars, adds techno beats to some tracks, and creates as energetic an album as any rocker has produced in the past few years. Though he's an excellent singer/songwriter, Garza also displays his talent for creating some pretty intense heavy rock. He's an innovative artist who's not done suprising us yet.
donavon_f_selftitle.jpg Donavon Frankenreiter "Donavon Frankenreiter"
$16.99
As a former pro-surfer turned recording artist, Donavon joined the Brushfire record label, owned by old friend and former pro-surfer Jack Johnson, in 2002. He released his debut album in 2004 of all original songs, including one duet with Johnson, "Free." The album is centered around mellow percussion, acoustic guitar, and light, breezy lyrics, and fans of Jack Johnson will love it! It's one of our best-sellers in the store and a great debut album from a promising artist.
donavon_f_movebyyourself.jpg Donavon Frankenreiter "Move By Yourself"
$16.99
His 2006 release really shows that Donavon's musical influences have a wider range than on his previous album. It's got a 70's funkadelic feel that he uniquely makes his own. It's full of energy, funky-flava, and just makes you want to bust a move! It's a far cry from his previous album, but fans of the last CD will still find all the qualities they were initially drawn to: his easy-going lyrics, smooth and wispy vocals, and a few tracks with that beachy-acoustic feel. (This album is available on VINYL upon request.)
driveby_ganstabilly.jpg Drive-By Truckers "Gangstabilly"
$17.99
This band's debut album is a raunchy, and weathered introduction to a band who's bringing Southern Rock back to life. Described as edgy and controversial, one thing can't be denied; these guys don't need an agenda to be considered a great band. With a heavy catalog of albums under their belt and gaining in popularity, this band is far from done.
driveby_pizza.jpg Drive-By Truckers "Pizza Deliverance"
$17.99
Released in 1999, this is a fan favorite. Described as punk-rock/country, they're a pretty rowdy bunch. If you dig deeper than the "white trash" image they portray, you'll see that they are a talented band and frontman, Patterson Hood, is a barroom storyteller through and through. If you're not familiar with them, they are worth checking out.
driveby_southernrockopera.jpg Drive-By Truckers "Southern Rock Opera"
$16.99
This double-disc, released in 2001, this album was six years in the making and the time spent on it paid off. The Truckers have created a startlingly intelligent work that proudly stands with the best music in their catalog. Rocking with a lean hardness, the story unfolds over 90 minutes, but the savvy, lyrical observations never overburden the songs. Not a rock opera, in the sense of Tommy, but a gritty, swampy and epic tale about the South that only these guys can convey.
driveby_decorationday.jpg Drive-By Truckers "Decoration Day"
$17.99
Released in 2003, they stay true to their ideals and sounds on this album. Still dishing out their twangy blend of punk/country/southern fried rock, but all of these songs are shaped by the experience of living and dying in the Deep South and described with deeply felt compassion and no false illusions. It's widely considered their best record by many critics and fans alike.
driveby_dirtysouth.jpg Drive-By Truckers "The Dirty South"
$17.99
The band's 2004 long-awaited release, has fans finding the members of the band have grown into their talent of innovative guitarwork and thoughtful songwriting. The songs tell a no-frills description of human tragedy, fear, shame, and the harsh truth of growing up on the wrong side of the tracks. Some of the tracks have the intense rock sound the Truckers are known for and paired with their swamp-twang, it's a butt-kickin' album.
driveby_blessing.jpg Drive-By Truckers "A Blessing and A Curse"
$17.99
The band's 2006 release is more polished than their previous recordings. All 11 tracks were written and performed in the studio and perfected over and over again. The honesty and sincerity in their lyrics shine through, not to mention the blistering three-guitar rock combo that tops off the songs. The Truckers have earned their spot in the Hard Rock genre, but they still know where they hail from.
floggingmolly_swagger.jpg Flogging Molly "Swagger"
$16.99
Nothing like a traditional Irish band from California. All jokes aside, Flogging Molly's blend of street punk and pub-rock is a ruckus of punch-drunk energy. At the store, we call it "celtic/irish music, shot out of a cannon." The band's 2000 debut full-length album is a brew of rowdy party music that's perfect for any barroom brawl. So raise your Guiness and turn it up loud, cuz you're about to have a bloody good time, Lad!
floggingmolly_drunken.jpg Flogging Molly "Drunken Lullabies"
$15.99
Their 2002 album is a raucous army of guitars, violins, whistles, and accordions that yell torrid tales of freedom, political struggle, love found, and love lost, and bolstered by a rhythm section that's steeped in pure punk rock. It's a intense live recording that kicks off with the title track, played at a breakneck speed that never lets up. After one listen, you'll probably wish you were Irish. (This album is available on VINYL upon request)
floggingmolly_withinamile.jpg Flogging Molly "Within A Mile Of Home"
$17.99
Released in 2004, this album is a bit more polished and not quite as intense as their previous records. Don't worry, there are still some very high-energy numbers, but the album, as a whole, has a broader sound ranging from thrashing punk tunes, folk ballads, mainstream hard rock, and even cajun! One suprising aspect of the album is a duet with Lucinda Williams. Flogging Molly fans will be pleased with the record. (This album is available on VINYL upon request)
g_love_coasttocoast.jpg G. Love & The Special Sauce "Coast to Coast Motel"
$14.99
Their 1995 release is a blend of hip-hop, rock, and G.Love's scratchy, slide blues guitar playing. This band definetly has a very unique sound that is all their own.
g_love_philadelphonic.jpg G. Love & The Special Sauce "Philadelphonic"
$14.99
Released in 1999, this album taps on the band's desire to play up their Philadelphia roots, emphasizing classic Philly soul along with their blues-rap melange. Included on the CD is a cover of "Rodeo Clowns" written by good friend Jack Johnson. It's a great album and shows that this group does have a way with a groove.
g_love_electricmile.jpg G. Love & The Special Sauce "Electric Mile"
$13.99
Released in 2001, "Electric Mile" isn't easy to categorize. Is it alternative rock, psychedelic rock, retro-soul, funk, or hip-hop? Actually, this diverse, unpredictable CD is a combination of those things — and the group also shows its appreciation of reggae, blues, and folk. The genius behind the band is that they can go in so many directions and still come off as unique and innovative.
g_love_hustle.jpg G. Love "The Hustle"
$15.99
Released in 2004, this is a mellow and easy going collection of G. Love's best songs. He is backed up by his usual "special sauce" musicians, but adds some additional percussionists and brings in old pal, Jack Johnson. The record has also got G. Love's trademark smirky flow, stripped-down rhythms, and distinctive bass and guitar licks. Fans of the band will love this album.
g_love_bestof.jpg G. Love & The Special Sauce "The Best Of"
$16.99
This band has earned an impressive live following over the years, and even more impressive album sales with his uniquely 1990s blend of hip-hop, blues, and chill-out funk. Well, here it is...the best of G. Love and his Special Sauce. Don't worry, they're not calling it quits just yet.
guyforsyth_steak.jpg Guy Forsyth "Steak"
$15.99
Released in 2000, the album is a blend of traditional blues and rock. Guy Forsyth's influences are rooted in traditional blues, but when he creates songs he expands on that sound and creates something totally different.
guyforsyth_voicesinside.jpg Guy Forsyth "Voices Inside"
$13.99
As an acoustic live solo album, this is most likely the best one around. It's captivating, soulful, heartbreaking, refreshingly unique, often comical, and some parts may even move you to tears. His vocal delivery of a song can knock you back in your seat (ex:"heart shaped hole", while the gritty, slide blues guitarwork can range from intensely rockin' to a moaning wail. This is a wonderfully intimate recording that music guru's will relish.
guyforsyth_lovesongs.jpg Guy Forsyth "Love Songs: For and Against"
$16.99
Released in 2005, this is some of his finest solo work. A collection of well-crafted songs and innovative guitar, it's a great addition to any Rock collection.
jackjohnson_brushfire.jpg Jack Johnson "Brushfire Fairytales"
$16.99
His 2001 debut album was largely overlooked at the time, but the album itself gave us a great first impression of the star he was about to become. His music doesn't conform to any style of music, but is rich with acoustic simplicity and just-plain-good songwriting. A great album from a new artist, at the time, and just a glimpse at things to come. (This album is available on VINYL upon request)
jackjohnson_onandon.jpg Jack Johnson "On and On"
$16.99
Released in 2003, the album picks up where the previous album left off. With that mellow, acoustic, and breezy feel, and all original songs, it's a win/win! By this time, Johnson's debut album had reached triple-platinum status, which paved the way for this record to be a runaway hit. It spawned the radio hit "Taylor." (This album is available on VINYL upon request.)
jackjohnson_thickerthanwater.jpg Jack Johnson "Thicker Than Water" soundtrack
$16.99
Before Jack Johnson was a college radio favorite, he was chasing tides and waves in southern California and attending film school. "Thicker Than Water" was a little project drawn up by Johnson and his fellow surf mates, Chris and Dan Malloy, and the documentary went on to win the Video of the Year award in Surfer magazine in 2000. This is the soundtrack to the movie version.
jackjohnson_inbetweendreams.jpg Jack Johnson "In Between Dreams"
$16.99
His third studio album is one of his best. He really streches his talent for songwriting further than the previous albums. The album is a knockout all the way through and a must-have for any Jack Johnson fan. (This album is available on VINYL upon request)
jackjohnson_curiousgeorge.jpg Jack Johnson "Curious George" soundtrack
$17.99
Universal Pictures couldn't have picked a better collaborator for this soundtrack to the Curious George film, as Johnson's easygoing delivery and breezy demeanor match George's silent curiosity to a T. With him on the album are fellow musicians/friends Ben Harper, G. Love, and Matt Costa. It's a lively album that kids will love, as well as, adults.
kellerw_freek.jpg Keller Williams "Freek"
$15.99
He is literally a one-man jam band. His fascinating live shows feature him solo on-stage with a Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro looping unit, and he creates his backing loops in the moment, building and improvising as he goes on his custom-made ten-string guitar, and thanks to his equally as quirky, funny, upbeat, and semi-surreal songs and his warm, friendly tenor singing voice, Williams is an utterly unique performer.
kellerw_spun.jpg Keller Williams "Spun"
$15.99
All his albums are amazing and just plain cool, and this one is no different. Check out “Portapotty,” which is a song about how he fell in love with a girl at a concert who was waiting in line, and doing the pee-pee dance (you know what dance I’m talking about). Another great track is the “Theme from the Pink Panther.” Listen to, what sounds like a trumpet, in the music….it’s actually him making that sound with his mouth, then looping it. Awesome!
kellerw_loop.jpg Keller Williams "Loop"
$16.99
This CD was recorded live during three different concerts. Not every song on the CD is looped, but over half of it is. On some tracks, Williams does some flat-out cowboy picking with his left hand and some serious rhythmic insanity with his right. The stand-out song (and my all-time favorite of his) is “Kidney in a Cooler.” Great album.
kellerw_home.jpg Keller Williams "Home"
$15.99
Williams has a way with lyrics which involve finding unlikely things to write about, and then writing about them in unlikely ways. The subjects he touches on include, putting on a little extra weight, romance among dogs, and moving sidewalks at airports, yet, he approaches each subject with a charming sense of innocence. The lyrics and subjects are light, but musicianship is definitely not. This guy knows his way around a guitar…and about 50 other instruments, for that matter.
kellerw_stage.jpg Keller Williams "Stage"
$20.99
He’s pure magic on stage and his legion of fans is a prime example. For a relatively unknown artist, this guy’s fan base rivals the Grateful Dead. This double-disc, live album is funky, funny, innovative, jaw-dropping, and captures him in his natural habitat; live.
kellerw_grass.jpg Keller Williams "Grass"
$15.99
His 2006 release has Williams’ pairing up with the progressive bluegrass duo, the Keels. Together, they play a eclectic mix of original songs and some interesting covers of classics. Their version of Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall” will make you giggle at first, and leave you truly impressed by the end. Two Tom Petty songs, “Last Dance with Mary Jane” and “Breakdown,” are blended together in a medley which almost makes a brand new, and pretty awesome, song. The album is bluegrass, but with a unique twist.
lb_allstars_rightback.jpg Long Beach Dub Allstars "Right Back"
$11.99
The SoCal loose vibes and attitude that made Sublime famous, are still alive and well on the follow-up album that was released by Sublime’s remaining members. The songs are aided by family and friend guest singers. (This album is available on VINYL upon request)
lb_shortbus_flyingship.jpg Long Beach Shortbus "Flying Ship Of Fantasy"
$16.99
This newly reformed band is made up former Sublime members and Long Beach Dub Allstar members. The album still has it’s roots in SoCal garage-ska, but the group expands on that sound and infuses the music with a shot of punk and psychedelia.
lonelyboys_selftitle.jpg Los Lonely Boys "Los Lonely Boys"
$14.99
This band of three brothers from San Angelo, Texas, created a debut album unlike any other. Blending tex-mex, rock, blues and country, the band forged a new sound that was a breath of fresh air amongst the monotony of standard radio line-up’s. Every song on the album is well-crafted and combine unique vocal harmonies, impressive songwriting, conjunto backbeats, and raw, hard-rock guitar playing. Catch them perform live, and you’ve experienced their whole package!
lonelyboys_livefillmore.jpg Los Lonely Boys "Live at The Fillmore"
$18.99
In the, jam-til-the-sun-comes-up, history of the Fillmore, the band displays that, they too, can expand on their songs with long, improvised, jam-band style, guitar solos in the same mind-bending way other bands did. It’s a great album that displays the raw energy of their live shows. New versions of their old songs and some great covers, too.
lonelyboys_sacred.jpg Los Lonely Boys "Sacred"
$18.99
FINALLY! The band’s 2006 release shows that these guys are NOT a flash in the pan. A stellar follow-up album, “Sacred” is a high-energy, rollicking, streetwise Texas rock record with many surprises. The album’s feel is entrancing and layered, and if you liked the radio single “Diamonds,” that’s nothing compared to the musical depth and heart-pounding beats of the other songs. As the band grows older, their gift for songwriting and creating music has only strengthened, and I’m sure we haven’t seen their full potential yet.
losttrailers_welcometo.jpg Lost Trailers "Welcome To The Woods"
$12.99
Their name was created after their tour trailer was stolen twice, but despite their bad luck, the band forged on. After a chance meeting with Willie Nelson, the band slipped him their demo and the rest is history. If Willie’s your fan, the doors fly open. Their debut album is an inviting blend of rock and country paired with catchy songwriting. “Longfall” was a big radio hit, for this Atlanta based band.
masonjennings_century.jpg Mason Jennings "Century Spring"
$17.99
An enticing collection of songs give this album a folk/rock feel, and the twists and turns in the songwriting keep you guessing. Get ready to push the replay button, because you’ll need to hear this album again and again to get the full effect.
monte_firstandrepair.jpg Monte Montgomery "First and Repair"
$16.99
In Guitar Player Magazine he is listed as one of "The Top 50 All Time Greatest Guitarists,” referring to him as the "acoustic Jimi Hendrix." The things Monte can do with an acoustic guitar are limitless. His trusty Alvarez acoustic isn’t much to look at after years of abuse, but if you close your eyes, you’d swear you were hearing a distorted electric. Rock, country, jaw-dropping guitar; whatever you classify it as, Monte is an artist to watch.
monte_mirror.jpg Monte Montgomery "Mirror"
$16.99
As his most attention getting album, it includes the song “When Will I,” which was recorded at Austin City Limits and included on the album. It was also a huge Texas radio hit. But don’t let one hit song stop you, the album is loaded with great songwriting, guitar work, and has a high-energy feel to it, too. It’s a fan favorite.
monte_wishingwell.jpg Monte Montgomery "Wishing Well"
$17.99
His 2001 release displays his gift for songwriting as well as his obvious guitar talent. An impressive song is “Bagpipe”, in which the band shows off their instrumental talents as they create a great bagpipe sound, without actually playing the instrument. Great album.
monte_storyoflove.jpg Monte Montgomery "Story of Love"
$15.99
The title may turn some people off to this album, but this CD contains some of the more rock-influenced songs Monte has recorded. Some of the finest guitar work ever done by Monte is in the track “Secretly Waiting.” Another stand-out is the last track “My Mother’s hands,” about how his mother introduced him to the guitar. Good job, Mom!
monte_architect.jpg Monte Montgomery "Architect"
$15.99
His 2005 studio album is loaded with full-on ROCK. Check out “Splitsville,” which has a dizzying guitar solo, and “Back to the Country,” which is not country at all, but an up-tempo anthem about getting back to your roots and enjoying the small things in life. Great record.
monte_liveworkplay.jpg Monte Montgomery "Live at Workplay"
$15.99
Over the years, Monte's been playing his heart out in small bars, rock clubs, and town halls, and earning each devoted fan one at a time. If he plays a place where he’s not well known, by the end of the show the audience will be crowed at the front of the stage, staring in amazement and with mouths agape. (It’s true, I’ve seen it happen at our own Exec. Surf Club) He releases yet another live album in 2005, showing us, yet again, that he can wow a crowd…pretty easily. (Also available on DVD)
matthole_livesurfclub.jpg Matt Hole & The Hot Rod Gang "Live at Executive Surf Club"
$15.99
A favorite performer at Corpus’ own Executive Surf Club, this album is a fan favorite, probably because all the fans know that a Hot Rod Gang show, is a guaranteed kick-ass good time. Always the life of the party, this band knows how to put on a good show, and has been doing that very thing, all across Texas, for years. Rock on, guys!
matthole_rockabillyexp.jpg Matt Hole & The Hot Rod Gang "Rockabilly Express"
$15.99
He was born in England, his heart is in Texas, and Corpus Christi claims this band as their own. A favorite on the state and local Rockabilly scene, this band has been tearing up the stage with their brand of hard-hitting rockabilly for years.
pepper_konatown.jpg Pepper "Kona Town"
$15.99
The band’s follow-up sophomore album is claimed by fans as their best. Really coming into their own sound, the album is alt-rock and punk-reggae with catchy lyrical hooks and laid back melodies.
pepper_inwiththeold.jpg Pepper "In With The Old"
$15.99
The band’s 2004 release on the Volcom music label, stays true to the band’s reggae/rock sound. Includes the hit songs “7 Weeks” and “Back Home.”

$15.99
Widely mislabeled as strictly a country band, their spirit and sound lie in the punk-influenced "insurgent country" genre rather than straight-up country. However, as any native Texan can tell you, you can’t hide your roots. The feel of their albums is unpretentious, barnburning, rock/country with infectious guitar riffs, and honest songs about real life and real people.

$15.99
Once again, the band shows that they can put on a killer show to a packed house of screaming fans. One of their best live albums in their collection, this CD includes some great songs. The opening track is one of the best, and is about putting the state of Colorado on trial (Texans will understand this one). This is the live CD that includes that really awesome and very long version of the band’s classic song “Maria.”

The band’s 2006 release has a cool, old school rock feel to it and some heavy and soulful songwriting, as well. Packed with teeth-rattling guitar solos and inventive percussion styles, it’s another slam-dunk for this popular live band.

Born in Corpus Christi, The Reverend (AKA James Heath), was given his noble name after he moved to Dallas to pursue a music career in Dallas’ popular Deep Ellum district. Not long after, the band was formed…and not just any band, the REV, who were one of the pioneers of the psycobilly genre. This is their 1992 debut album, and it’s a dooser!

$12.99
The Reverend (as both the three-man band and its guitar-playing frontman were known) built a strong cult following during the '90s through constant touring, manic showmanship, and a twisted sense of humor. The title track on this album will have you quoting it every time you walk into a bar. “It’s martini time!”
