Bloodshot Announces Spring 2007 Release Schedule!

BS 133 JON RAUHOUSE Steel Guitar Heart Attack

Release Date: 3-13-07

Jon Rauhouse, the pedal steel and Hawaiian guitar whiz behind the recordings of Neko Case, Calexico, Kelly Hogan and many others, as well as two solo records, continues his Quixotic quest to keep instrumental music alive on March 13!. Backed by Calexico, Steel Guitar Heart Attack is woozy, it’s swinging, it’s mournful, it’s joyful. You don’t need words, man, you just need a good rhythm while you’ve got the gin in the shaker. If you are a fusspot that needs some singing, there’s a few tracks sung by Neko Case, Sally Timms, Kelly Hogan and Rachel Flotard (Visqueen). These ladies will melt the ice in ANYONE’S punchbowl.

Jon Rauhouse will be appearing in Neko Case's band for her upcoming 2007 Australia/West Coast tour. The tour kicks off Thursday, January 25th. For details, go here!

BS 139 THE DETROIT COBRAS Tied And True

Release Date: 4-24-07

With Tied And True, their first new record in three years, the Cobras practically done created a new genre all for themselves, delivering the sonic goods to back up some seriously supernatural soulful vocal gifts. Stretching out in the studio like never before, and including contributions from top line players like Greg Cartwright (Reigning Sound) the Cobras have created a versatile and formidable wall of Spector sound (is that timpani you’re hearing here and there? Yer goddam right it is). Be it eerie or orchestral, or pure rock and roll rough up, Tied and True puts the Cobras on a whole new level—of many sources but a genus all its own.

BS 140 GRAHAM PARKER Don't Tell Columbus

Release Date: 3-13-07

Suffused with the heft of the epic, Don’t Tell Columbus’s lyrical and emotional resonance straddles the Atlantic and evinces Graham Parker’s stature as one of the most gifted writers in rock ‘n’ roll. From the personal and metaphorically grand “The Other Side of the Reservoir” to the overtly political and swinging “Stick to the Plan,” this album ripples with tension between the melancholic, the urgent and the hopeful. Best of all, it’s wrapped in his gifted brawny pop and blue-eyed soul smarts. Only GP can have you happily humming along to songs swaddled in desperate loneliness and internal mayhem.
