Dawes – North Hills
Hi, my name is Kelly and I am an eMusic addict. I thought I had left the dangerous and destructive world of subscription music service behind me, but I recently suffered a relapse of sickening and heartbreaking proportions. The album that is perhaps my favorite score from a recent bender is ...

The Pacific
I try not to veer off the musical path too often, but sometimes I cant help myself. I saw this trailer the other night on HBO and I am already counting the days. I think it’s safe to say that the combo of Spielberg, Hanks, HBO and World War II have proven to be a stellar one.  ...

Biting Other Blogs – Audio/Video
Alberta Cross was a pleasant surprise for me at ACL Festival, now they are on Daytrotter. The last few days have seen some really sweet gems pop up on a couple of my favorite sites…let’s get to it. Daytrotter has welcomed a host of excellent artists recently. ...

Matt Harlan – Tips & Compliments
For all of the attention that the Red-Dirt rockers get here in Texas (not that I am complaining), the softer voices that employ their lyrical perspective and vision – not chugging rhythms and screaming solos – to do the heavy lifting are often times over-looked or perhaps ignored ...

Possum Jenkins – Collection of Bad Habits
With several great albums that draw heavily on southern-rock swagger having been released by bands such as Drive By Truckers and Lucero recently, I figured I was fried for a while when it came to these types of sounds. With that said, I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself ...

Peter Bradley Adams – Traces
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just want to make sure that my inner sensitive-male and I keep in touch. We all have those records, I imagine. Last week, I told you folks about Paul Masson , a soulful, sensitive performer who reminded me of another perhaps even more sensitive ...

Concert Announcement: Split Lip Rayfield (Dallas, TX)
This coming Sunday night will be a floor-stompin’, hell-raisin’ whale of a time at the Granada Theater in Dallas , y’all. Local roots studs 100 Damned Guns and The O’s (both bands have been featured here on the Knob, you know) will be setting the stage for none other ...

The Dog Roses – Just Another Saturday
While England isn’t exactly the hills of Tennessee, our former oppressors have produced some solid acts with considerable twang. A recent example of this would be The Dog Roses ( Myspace / Official ) . Their new EP, Just Another Saturday , is a great little country record. The ...

Mac Leaphart – Line, Rope, Etc…
thegobblersknob.com — While many of us blogger-types are trying to figure out what our favorite releases of 2009 are, I have been enjoying what would’ve been one of my favorite records from 2008. Mac Leaphart’s ( Official / Myspace ) 2008 release, Line, ... Mac Leaphart – Line, Rope, Etc…
Biting Other Blogs – Great Bands from Great Blogs
Chad Price's new solo album is one of many great recent "discoveries" for me on some other great blogs. I’ve never hid the fact that I not only peruse other music blogs, but I often get turned onto great bands, both new and old, that I wasn’t familiar with from those ...

Paul Masson’s Music
Anyone who has read The Gobb Knob recently likely is starting to pick up on the fact that I have been digging a good bit of E.P.’s lately. I haven’t exactly been quiet about it. An E.P. that has garnered many a spin in the CD player recently has been Paul Masson’s ( ...

Jason Molina & Will Johnson
Living near Denton TX, it isn’t exactly hard for a music-lover to be intimately familiar with the name and work of Will Johnson . The band he is perhaps most well-known for, Centro-matic , is a North Texas icon. He may be spending more time in our state’s capital these days, but ...

Yesterday’s Ring – Diamonds in the Ditch
Belting it out from the great white north, Yesterday’s Ring ( Myspace ) is giving their Canadian friends a clinic in good ol’ American Cow-Punk. Their recent release, Diamonds In the Ditch (Suburban Home), is a solid collection of heartbreak, life on the road, abuse and love ...

Brandi Carlile – “Looking Out”
Good news for Brandi Carlile ( Official / Myspace ) fans. If you liked her previous album, The Story (I did), you’re going to really dig her new full-length record, Give Up the Ghost (Colombia). It’s more of her excellent blend of folk, rock and country mixed with her strong ...

Drew Kennedy – An Audio Guide to Cross Country Travel
thegobblersknob.com — One of the best singer/songwriters in the great state of Texas is none other than Drew Kennedy ( Official / Myspace ). His 2007 disc, Dollar Theater Movie was easily one of the better records of that year, and his new album will find a similar ... Drew Kennedy – An Audio Guide to Cross Country Travel

Curtis Harvey – Box of Stones
Many great artists produce music that is inspiring without being technically gifted vocalists. Kris Kristofferson and Ryan Bingham have produced two of the year’s best albums while displaying vocals that few would term “smooth”. The largely acoustic solo debut from Curtis ...

New Ike Reilly!!
Ike Reilly’s ( Myspace / Official ) Poison the Hit Parade was one of my favorite albums from a couple of years back. Reilly’s mix of rock, funk, country and blues wrapped around lyrics stocked with wit and venom made for an enjoyable listen. Reilly’s new record, Hard ...

Exebelle & Rusted Cavalcade – C.A.F.
thegobblersknob.com — The more that people talk about the LP’s descent into “endangered species” status, the more I like the idea of band’s releasing EP’s. I haven’t totally figured out why necessarily, but I often feel as though an ... Exebelle & Rusted Cavalcade – C.A.F.
Lissie – “Little Lovin’”
I’m not the first guy to write about newcomer Lissie ( Myspace ). I am cool with that, since her new EP, Why You Runnin’ (Fat Possum) is really good. It’s hard to place her in a specific, nice and neat genre. There’s a bit of folk, there’s some rock, ...
