Ellis Bullard, Lonesome Heroes (album release), Hayden Butler, Lasso (7:00)
Rich Russell and his band of merry rockers load up LP six, Seasons Change, which cuts more subtly than their usual brand of jangled Americana. Apt to the title, the album turns through thoughts of getting older, life on the road, and wild flashes of revelation. Fifteen years in, Russell’s voice cuts dustier, his heart a little wearier, but his eyes still glow with wonder. Lasso opens with their supernatural psych-country jams, along with Hayden Butler’s cool croon and Ellis Bullard’s Piss-Hot Freightlining Country Music.Fri., Nov. 17 -
