Kentucky Parlor Pickers

Another week, another week in review. Sorry for getting this up so late. It’s been an awesomely busy weekend but now I am sitting on my butt watching the Buccaneers game so let’s get to reviewing:

Scott H. Biram’s new album, Bad Ingredients, has come out. We may not have reviewed it yet but we did post the new video and recommend that you buy the cd.

I officially named the Worst Song On Pop Country Radio.

That’s The Thing About That gave us a “best of” collection from the Suburban Home 16th Anniversary Party.

This week’s episode of Ninebullets Radio was a marathon show. We met our goal to continue the show’s run of never falling short of it’s goal.

We reviewed some records; Poor Boy’s Soul – Burn Down, Gill Landry – Piety & Desire, Glossary – Long Live All Of Us and The Kentucky Parlor Pickers – Barn Burner.

Despite the name, the preferred place of residence of the Kentucky Parlor Pickers is Denver, Colorado. Their latest album, Barn Burner, has been out since May and, to be honest, I’d assumed a lot more people had already covered it, so I kept letting it slip back in my list. However, it turns out that few to none have written about the album and ninebullets.net is here to do what we can to remedy that bullshit.

The Kentucky Parlor Pickers are Josh Mickelson, Mark Thomas and Alex Stewart. They’re a trio making string band music that doesn’t take itself seriously at all. I’m not trying to act like I’ve ever met these guys, but my best guess is that they’re more concerned with having a good time than they are with making the record that will get them signed. The sense of humor in the album kind of reminds me of early OCMS and makes me wish I were a little wobbly in some Colorado bar, singing along.

Don’t let my “with a sense of humor” comment make it sound like Barn Burner is a gimmick album, though. While it certainly is a mountain of fun to listen to, at its core it’s also a fuckin’ A good album.

Check out the MP3’s and tell me I’m wrong….::::drops mic::::
