Tomas Walter and the Southmothers
s/t
Bluebus

Being a fan of southern rock and blues (give me Govn't Mule over Arcade Fire any day) this somehow fits within my palette of likes. One of Tomas' most important qualities might be that he doesn't take himself too seriously, a dangerous trait of many bluesmen. Overall, the music just leaves me wanting more uptempo numbers and less straightforward whining. Still, a pretty decent release.
