Dave has an integrated band this time - that is, both women and men.

Dave Alvin announces all-new studio album ELEVEN ELEVEN available 6/21 on Yep Roc.

March 28, 2011, 12:00 am

Yep Roc Records is excited to announce the upcoming release of Dave Alvin's new studio album titled Eleven Eleven on June 21st. Eleven Eleven, described as the "King of California's" most driving, electric blues and rock oriented album since 2004's critically acclaimed Ashgrove, includes 11-tracks, for the first time in his career, written and recorded on the road and during breaks while on tour. The album features a host musicians Alvin had not recorded with since his days in The Blasters, and for the first time ever, sings on record with his brother Phil, the lead singer of The Blasters. A full U.S. summer tour in support is to be announced.

While the backing cast varies with different musicians at sessions separated by weeks of time, the one constant is Alvin's assured guitar-playing. Whether it's finger-picking on an acoustic against an accordion on "No Worries Mija" or blazing riffs on electric over a Bo Diddley beat on "Run Conejo Run," Eleven Eleven casts a consistent gritty, bluesy feel from start to finish. The result is an album with songs rich in vivid stories, taking listeners on a bounty hunt in "Murrietta's Head," a tawdry scene of seduction in "Dirty Nightgown" and a true crime recollection in "Johnny Ace is Dead." Dave's guitar work punctuates each tale, reinforcing moments of urgency, remorse and reflection.

Chill, Leroy.



Actually, I've always wanted to be able to use that brief sentence legitimately. Very kind of you to afford me the opportunity.



The music ain't bad, either, to tell you the truth.



Oh, and I think you meant to say, "it won't cost you a vdime."

I was hoping to find some fellow fans of real music on this site, but that obviously is not the case.

OK, go back to your listening of Journey, Kansas, REO Speedwagon, Bon Jovaaaay, Styx, Boston, rap and pop country.

Certainly a sense of humor rules out any musical propensities. Goodness knows I have none.

Because obviously there is no talent in rap, pop, and/or country. :smash:
