Balthrop, Alabama: Subway Songs & Cowboy Songs


I'm a few months late on this, but better late than never to mention Balthrop, Alabama and the excellent pair of records they released earlier this year: Subway Songs and Cowboy Songs.  As you might have guessed, the titles of the records hint at the contents - Subway Songs leans on the more urban, street-poet side of folk while Cowboy Songs has more traditional country influence.  The constant thread between the albums is the songwriting - quirky, well-crafted songs brought to life by an eclectic 10-piece band.
