It’s a small group of worthwhile new releases this week on Largehearted Boy’s list, probably because most everyone in the industry is busy heading down to SXSW Music Festival. Still, there are a few to inspire you to head over to your local record shop, like the latest (and must-have) from Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, rootsy Northwest songwriter Kelly Joe Phelps, and arty experimentalists Kinetic Stereokids. Some newer entries that should raise eyebrows, and pocketbooks, include Black Joe Lewis, An Horse, The Show Is the Rainbow, White Lies, and Wavvves. If you’re in a more reminiscent mood, check out the compilation Quiet Please…The Best of Nick Lowe. Here are a few samples to get you motivated:
