I love my fake music blogging job. Writing about such great music day in and day out is inspirational. It really is.
I somehow stumbled upon Walter Spencer and his new record A Sunday Night Roast a couple of weeks ago. It took some work to get this up on the site so I hope you like it.
Walter’s from LA, but his music would be more comfortable in the Appalachian Mountains, or Baton Rouge, or Austin. He plays an odd mix of americana, bluegrass, honky tonk and hippy folk. If this wasn’t recorded in a shack up in the mountains it certainly should have been. I’m not sure of the story behind “Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap” but this tale of contraband soap that gets an Orange County man arrested is pretty classic (esp with lyrics like: “was it crack cocaine or heroin or a little bitty bag of dope? nope he had a bottle of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap” and “it makes my balls tingle, but it don’t get me high”).
Buy A Sunday Night Roast here through Cd Baby.
