This week on the Down Home Shakedown on UtahFM.org, we played a whole stack of new music. The Black Lillies got a few spins, I've been enjoying that new CD. I continue to love the new release from Those Darlin's - that one makes me feel like summer, despite the long cold spring.
The CD that was on my iTunes most however, was the new CD from Zoe Muth and the Lost High Rollers. This group out of Seatle does fine, authenic country music. Zoe is a fantastic songwriter, and has one of those singular country voices. I particulary got a kick out the song "If I Can't Trust you with a Quarter, How Can I Trust You With My Heart," a song that laments that sunken feeling you'd get when you'd realize your date just has bad taste in music.
