THE DUSTBOWL REVIVAL With A Lampshade On (Signature Sounds) With A Lampshade On, the Dustbowl Revival’s fourth album, finally shines a light on the band’s strength as a live act. Check below for their music video for Never Had To Go featuring Dick Van Dyke!

Bluegrass. Swing. Hot jazz. Pre-war blues. Southern soul. New Orleans funk. The Dustbowl Revival is what you could call an American roots orchestra with eight full-time members — and they play it all, mashing the sounds of traditional American music into a genre-hopping, time-bending dance party that coaxes new fire out of familiar coal. This isn’t a throwback band. It’s a celebration of the sounds that have kept America moving for more than a century, performed with all the flair of a medicine show and rooted in the sweat and swagger of a juke joint song swap. Visit the band’s website here http://www.dustbowlrevival.com/

WARREN HAYNES f/ Railroad Earth (w/ Grace Potter) Ashes and Dust (CMG) Ashes & Dust is only the third album Haynes has released under his own name in a career that stretches back to the early ’80s… Recorded with the New Jersey Americana band Railroad Earth and other guests, “Ashes & Dust” focuses on Haynes’ singer-songwriter side on 13 tunes, culled from nearly 30 the musicians recorded, that show more of a folk bent than his free-flowing electric guitar excursions.
