I am really excited to share with you the news that tomorrow, January 27th, we will be posting the pre-order for 2 incredible albums:

Austin Lucas “Somebody Loves You” LP/CD/deluxe set
and
Justin Townes Earle “Midnight at the Movies” LP/CD/Shirts

Austin Lucas, most of you know pretty well and hopefully are as excited as I am about his new album. It is such a powerful and beautiful album and I think people are gonna flip when they hear it. 2009 is gonna be a big year for Austin with a U.S. tour with Tim Barry and Josh Small, a Euro tour with Mike Hale and Josh Small, a split double 7″ with the Takers, and a split 7″ with Frank Turner for Under the Influence. “Somebody Loves You” will be pressed on 2 different colors and will be co-released with Hometown Caravan in Germany.

And Justin Townes Earle put out one of my favorite records of 2008 (“The Good Life”). I have been working really closely with the cool cats at Bloodshot Records to put together a really cool pre-order. We will try carrying the CD, the vinyl, and we will be putting together a handful of sets that have a T-shirt, a poster, and a button. There is also talk of getting a handful of signed CDs and LPs that will go out randomly to customers. Justin plays a great blend of honky tonk Country and Roots Rock and if the stuff I have heard from his upcoming album is any indication, this should be on my tops list of 2009.

2pm Mountain time, be there or be square. More info will be announced when we post the pre-orders.
