We’re Baaaacccckkk…
The Lucero Message Board has made a triumphant return and the regular posters are beginning to wander back in. By next month everything will be back to normal. The May compilation was made while the message board was still down. This time around it included folks from the Drag the River message board as well. Unfortunately, I did not get in on the submissions for the May comp so I’m like you…a mere listener. One fella that has really stood out to me is Roger Alan Wade. He has two tracks from his new cd, Stoned Traveler, featured on the comp and those were enough to prompt me to buy the cd.
You can d/l the entire comp here and you can check out the official comp. thread over on the message board for track by track commentary.
Have a safe weekend. Here is the track listing:
- Roger Alan Wade - Brainerd Road

I am a sucker for a mashup, so when I saw this entry over on BoingBoing today I had to check into it.
I’m not a big fan of Rench as a band. I think it’s too gimmicky and aside from that I just don’t think they are very good but they managed to do a very interesting job with this mashup of Underground hip-hop vocals with Rench beats and tons of uncleared samples from early bluegrass, folk ballads, and blues as well as some modern bluegrass as well.
They did a really awesome job putting it together. Unlike most mashups there really isn’t any point during these 22 tracks where the mix feels forced. I never would have thought the two genres would mesh so well.
Anyhow, they’re giving it away for free so check it out here (official) or here (torrent).
Anai - On Lock
T.O.N.E-Z - On the Run
While the message board itself may have gone a.w.o.l. the compilation we were in the middle of making at the time of its demise will live on. For an unknowingly final compilation we did a fine job if I do say so myself. Joe Pug, fresh off his appearance on songs:illinois yesterday, makes an appearance for a second month in a row while Stucky and I both contributed tracks from Slim Cessna’s Auto Club. Mcallan1 submitted a track by Hayes Carll I liked so much I ordered his cd today. Considering Miles of Music’s slow shipping department expect a piece on Hayes’ album, Trouble in Mind, sometime in the fall. As an aside I gotta say, I miss the board and it’s regulars. Hopefully we’ll get it back in the near future and until then I bid y’all a farewell.

The compilation theme over on altcountrytab.ca this month was cars. One of the participants decided to make a second, Cadillac comp, due to the sheer quantity of songs that mention Caddy’s in the lyrics or song titles.
