One of my most highly anticipated records of the year from the alt-country genre is Gina Villalobos‘ record Days On Their Side due out July 12.

Here’s the title track. Of course it’s only a small sample of the new record but through it you will hopefully get the gist. And if you don’t I’d namedrop Lucinda Williams and Kathleen Edwards as contemporaries who are also able to sound both tough and emotionally frail at the same time.

Days On Their Side

On a side note, before I left for L.A. I recorded an interview and picked a couple of tracks for Hype Radio wearing my Swedesplease hat. I’m in the beginning of the show after the Akron Family song.
