U & U Show 363 | More Folk + New Dune Rats



Nathaniel Rateliff : Three Fingers In: Falling Faster Than You Can Run (2013)
-       3rd full length.
-       I got so hung up on Nathaniel’s other project, The Night Sweats, when this album was released I completely missed one of the best folk albums of 2013.
-       Surprise highlight of my recent SF trip.



Wooden Wand : Uneasy Peace : Farmer’s Corner (2014)
-       James Jackson Toth project's forthcoming album.
-       His last album, Blood Oaths of the New Blues, was a Best of the U & U 2013.
-       His track ‘No Bed For Beatle Wand/Days This Long’ was my favorite song of 2013.
