This may be one of the next records I buy. Rolling Stone's description is "Sam Cooke meets Wu-Tang Clan", which is an interesting comparison I suppose.
My new infatuation...
I hate it when I don't find out about a band until they've been out for several years. It makes me feel like I've missed out or that I'm late to the party. Oh well, I love these guys and I guess it's better to find out about them later versus never at all.
Figures you were all over it.Yup. ;-)
I believe they are broken up since I think Erika Wennerstrom went solo.

Wouldn't say all over it. I don't watch a lot of TV and don't have kids, so instead I listen to the radio and dig through record bins. The Heartless Bastards were an alt.country darling so I knew of them from articles in No Depression.Figures you were all over it.

That magazine is where guys like @Hulk and I heard about lots of bands to go see. Usually what happens is the opening band is more interesting than the headliner.
I saw Heartless Bastards play at the Bluebird (or perhaps it was the Gothic, it's hazy) probably 6 or 8 years ago when they opened for the Old 97s. Gotta give all the Midwest bands their props when they make it! Anymore I'm getting too old to mix it up with the kids and their rock and/or roll.
Anyway, they had kind of a break-out song ("Gates of Dawn") from that album a few years ago, so they got plays on Radio 1190 and Open Air. It is a pretty good song.
