A Thousand Horses, Watson dish it out
Laura Bell Bundy has gained more acclaim with her acting career (she was in "Legally Blonde" on Broadway) and returns with "Another Piece of Me." The first single is "I Am What I Am." Bundy's last release was a double-themed CD, "Achin' and Shakin'."
Dale Watson, a long-time purveyor of traditional country music, released "Call Me Insane." The Texan recorded the disc in Austin with Lloyd Maines producing and his road band, The Lone Stars, playing as well. The disc contains 14 songs, closing with "Mama's Don't Let Your Cowboys Grow Up to Be Babies."
The Deslondes, a New Orleans-based Americana band mixing R&B, country and Cajun sounds, releases its self-titled debut on New West. The quintet consists of Sam Doores (vocals/guitar), Riley Downing (vocals/guitar), Dan Cutler (vocals/stand-up bass), Cameron Snyder (vocals/percussion) and John James Tourville (pedal steel/fiddle).
Long-running bluegrass band, Big Country Bluegrass, is out with its 18th release, "Country Livin'." The band includes Lynwood Lunsford on banjo.
