Web Junkie Wednesday: Streaming Country
After hearing what sounded like a much diminished Hank Williams Jr.'s spin on Johnny Cash, his dad's tunes and right wing versions of his own songs last week, I'm cleansing myself with two country albums streaming online today:
*All Aboard: A Tribute to Johnny Cash - Groups like The Hold Steady, Dresden Dolls, MxPx and The Bouncing Souls take on Cash songs like Cry, Cry, Cry, Man in Black and Folsom Prison Blues. The album will is available on four colors of vinyl , with access to digital copies included in the sleeve. All proceeds go to a breast cancer charity.
Cardinalology, the new record by (maybe overly) prolific alt-country guy (and North Carolina native) Ryan Adams and his band The Cardinals, is streaming for free online for 48 hours. It's available in stores Oct. 28.

I have a buddy that went to the same high school as Adams. He said he was about as you'd imagine: kinda weird, arty. (Adams was a little older than my friend, but they ran in similar circles.)
And every time I see that Junkie pic, I giggle a little. Yeah, I said giggle.
