I’m a huge fan of Malcolm Holcombe’s (here and here). I put him in the rarified air of folks like John Prine, Steve Earl, and Joe Ely. He can tell a story with both his lyrical turn of phrase and with his beaten down whiskey and cigarette marred voice. I’m not his only fan though. The new label Echo Mountain (Tyler Ramsay) has signed him and released the new record. The only flaw I can see so far with the release is the record cover; it’s got a horribly executed horror movie theme. But from what I’ve heard from the record and the ep that preceded it Malcolm is up to his old tricks.
Gamblin’ House is the new record. “Back To Hell In A Greyhound” is the righteous lead off track.
“For The Love Of A Good Woman”

Great track, Chris. Thanks!
Why does everyone call me Chris?
Gamblin’ House is out and I’ve just given it my first listen and WOW! Slight correction to info here; Greyhound is on the companion EP called Wager and not on Gamblin’ House. Matters not as the new cd is loaded with great tracks! Enjoy,
