BOTTLE ROCKETS monster latest opus “LEAN FORWARD” is sale priced still right now at $9.99. And YES we still have a few of the very limited edition VINYL LP.

Thanks to all B Rox fans, neighbors and merely curious who stopped in and supported their visit to Greenville. Special shouts to MICHELLE MALONE who opened at The Handlebar for The Bottle Rockets and stopped in to enjoy to say hello and do some vinyl shopping.

“If Uncle Tupelo is the Beatles of the alt-country movement, the Bottle Rockets are certainly the Rolling Stones. Featuring a brash, in-your-face sound with as much of a Lynyrd Skynyrd influence as Gram Parsons.” —Spartanburg Herald-Journal

“…the Missouri-based Bottle Rockets have churned out high-powered guitar rock rooted in the soil and have gained high praise for their detailed portraits” —Boston Globe

“…complexity and depth of songwriting that mixes words of wisdom with a pinch of salty humor.” —American Songwriter Magazine

The simple fact is that the Rockets have been making some of the most incisive, hip and eclectic American music on the scene for over a decade now. Long known amongst folks with good taste, the Bottle Rockets have spent their career raising dust and raising lighters with their spot on and literate anthems of the ordinary Joe. They are equally adept at long hair rockers from the rural route, gut-bucket boogies that’d make ZZ Top hang their heads in fraudulent, washed-up shame, or remarkably poetic elegies of loss and displacment.

Greetings Everyone,
This is a fun week. We got something for almost everyone. The chilled out spooky psychedelia of BROKEN BELLS. The classic JIMI HENDRIX tidal wave with VALLEYS OF NEPTUNE and 4 CD/LP re-issues. And for the 90’s crowd, and old folks who weren’t paying attention, there’s the onslaught of PAVEMENT delights. Pitchfork gave Quarantine: Best Of a rare 10 rating (gasp) — holy snooty trend czars Batman! Me? I’m going to climb into that Paul Motian Trio CD and disappear for hours at a time. And I do dig the tunes that Shins guy James Mercer and finesse wizard Danger Mouse are bringing. It’s really simple this week. As last week.

DON’T FORGET CHUCK PROPHET is playing at The Handlebar on Weds — AARON BERG & The Heavy Love opens up at 8:30. Stayed tuned here as we are just about to unveil some pretty exciting Record Store Day plans, visiting artists etc.
