I’ve been waiting on a couple big releases. Amazingly two of the three that I’ve been drooling over have a connection to the small label Ramseur Records. The first is the new one from the Avett Brothers (they may have now moved on to a major label but they are still managed by the folks at Ramseur) and and the second is the new record from Paul Burch & WPA Ballclub that is out Aug. 18 on Ramseur. The third is the new one titled Cotton by Sam Baker (but more on that in a few weeks).
Still Your Man is the new one and though I can’t vouch for the whole thing from the notes accompanying the record it sounds promising. Paul Burch set out to make a record with it’s own distinctive yet classic sound (think Sam Phillips of Sun). Paul Burch’s early records on the now defunct label Checkered Past are underground americana classics. I’ve fallen off the bandwagon a bit since those early records but I’m climbing back on!! Here’s the title track:
