Hayes Carll , Corb Lund
Hayes Carll’s combination of wry wit, hard-luck poetry, and raw twang has positioned the local songwriter as the next in line of venerable Texas troubadours like Ray Wylie Hubbard and James McMurtry. Don’t let the stomp and holler fool you, either. As last year’s excellent KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories) proved, his tongue-in-cheek comes with serious bite. Canadian kicker Corb Lund joins for the double shot, along with Houston rockabilly slinger John Evans. – Doug Freeman

The Relatives
Get Ready. That’s both the title of a Smokey Robinson cover by the almighty Temptations and fair warning about the Relatives’ proper debut, The Electric Word. Due Feb. 19, the gospel survivors’ Yep Roc bow peels back the same psychedelic R&B that Motown’s harmony juggernaut combusted in the Sixties. The Relies came to be in 1970, but only on select and long gone sides of vinyl, so Electric Word bows the Texans nationally. The Jones Family Singers sing praise beforehand and Peterson Brothers afterward. – Raoul Hernandez

Mother Falcon Plays 'OK Computer'
Critically conservative, the Chronicle music section rated Radiohead’s third album, OK Computer, 4.5 stars. Senior Editor Kate Messer opined in an Aug. 15, 1997 review, “It’s this generation’s The Wall.” Fifteen years after the England troupe’s most prized production, and more than nine months after the band swept through both Austin City Limits and the Frank Erwin Center, local symphonic pop wonders Mother Falcon recreate the futuristic classic with a massive orchestra at Austin’s Scottish Rite Theater, as timeless a venue as this album. – Chase Hoffberger
