Bottle Rockets / Mark Olson of The Jayhawks

In a country where interstates don't take you to new places, but to the same places, where everywhere you go you've already been or you've just left, the Bottle Rockets nail a sound and a vibe with a palpable sense of place. They do what no other band does betterlook into the hearts and minds and faces of the dying small towns in America and craft populist anthems with the sympathetic eye of Woody Guthrie and sonic stomp of Crazy Horse. With determination and resilience of their distinctly Midwestern roots; theirs is a celebration of pragmatism and tempered optimism, acknowledging the forces of erosion not earthquakes, of the marathon not the sprint.
Their first new record since 2009, South Broadway Athletic Club, is being released on 10/2 by Bloodshot Records!

Americana Album Of The Month
"Let's hear it for love. Post-Jayhawks, Mark Olson has not sounded this dreamy and happy since those late-'90s Creekdippers albums. Certainly not on his solo albums, the pained if pretty The Salvation Blues and the meditative Many Colored Kite. Now here he is with his best album in ages, beaming on the cover with new love Ingunn Ringvold, the Norwegian singer-musician who guest-sang on his previous album. Their voices blending and her harmonium, qanon, bass and djembe complementing his guitar, dulcimer and djembe (there are regular instruments too). Recorded on portable equipment in various global spots, it ranges from drifting, almost English-psych pop Beatley "Poison Oleander"; Incredible String Bandy "Running Circles"; joyous opener "Lizelle Djan" to sweet midtempo Jayhawks "All These Games".
