TAKE A LISTEN: Chad Kichula – He calls it alt-country; I can agree. His bio mentions Springsteen and Steve Earle. His new LP was released Sept. 10,with the new single and video The Whale’s Back. I hear some Warren Zevon and James McMurtry influence is this one…
Notes: Chad sold his truck in 2005 to pay for his debut album. The Whale’s Back sessions began in 2012.
ONE TO WATCH: St. Paul and the Broken Bones

St Paul and the Broken Bones: Paul Janeway, Jesse Phillips, Browan Lollar, Andrew Lee, Ben Griner, and Allen Branstetter. Additional performances by James Brangle, Les Nuby, and Ron Alexander.
Like the Alabama Shakes, St. Paul and The Broken Bones made it big from North Alabama. Birmingham is their town. Their four-song EP Greetings from St. Paul & The Broken Bones was released in December 2012.
