*We received 30 copies of this LP. Act fast as these will move quickly. This is the band’s 4th album and the follow up to the album we helped release, “Mergers and Acquisitions”. If you loved Mergers or Postcards, this record should be in your collection.

Bradenton, Florida’s Have Gun, Will Travel have a natural instinct for combining folk, pop, rock and classic country influences to create a sound all their own. “Their music has a great energy to it with infectious, sing-along choruses and refrains” remarked NPR’s Robin Hilton. American Songwriter called HGWT’s music “organic, infectious Americana Pop. Their music has a refreshing immediacy to it.”

Over the course of three acclaimed albums, hundreds of shows and copious populist-radio airplay, they’ve nurtured a tradition of inviting all manner of gifted musicians to join the fray. The group’s inclusive nature allows it to flesh out tunes that run the gamut from foot-stomping front-porch spirituals and evocative Texas swing to strum-punk rave-ups, hill-country historicals and more.

HGWT’s music has been featured in a national Chevy TV commercial; multiple episodes of the PBS series Roadtrip Nation; and an episode of CBS’s The Good Wife. Their previous albums have spent months on the CMJ Radio Top 200 chart. And their live performances have been described as rousing, rollicking, energetic and dynamic.

The album was mixed by HGWT’s own Scott Anderson and mastered by Rodney Mills (Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Drive-By Truckers).

Today is a very big day for me as I get to announce the pre-order for one of my favorite records on the planet, the re-release of Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys’ self-titled album. The album will be released towards the end of November on LP, CD, as a Deluxe Set, and digitally. The pre-order will go down on Friday, October 7th through our store at Shopradiocast. Pre-ordering the album will get you an automatic download of the record.

Today, our friends at Nine Bullets have debuted an mp3 from the record, “Leavin in the Morning”, a song you more than likely know from Drag the River’s cover of the song on “It’s Crazy”. Most people assume, as I once did, that this was originally a Drag the River song when in fact, the song was originally a Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys song. Visit the link above to check out the track and to read more about this record as Nine Bullets links to a guest post I wrote in early 2009 about the record and about my dream to re-release the record on Suburban Home. It only took 2 and a half years to make this dream a reality.

The LP will be pressed in an edition of 1,000 copies (333 on White, 667 on Blood Red). The Deluxe Set will feature an LP, a CD, a coozie, a pint glass, and a button. There will only be 100 Deluxe Sets for Sale. Regardless of which way you pre-order the album, you will receive an automatic download of the record.

Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys “S/t” was originally released on CD by Lude Boy Records. The album has been out of print for a few years now. I feel very lucky to re-release the album and finally have a copy of the album on vinyl.

I’m really excited to be working with Have Gun Will Travel and will be releasing their new album, “Mergers & Acquisitions”. I first heard Have Gun Will Travel after the Takers played a few shows with them. Bryan from Nine Bullets also sung their praises and sent me a copy of their last album. We adopted the band when they self-released “Postcards from a Friendly City”, an album I just fell in love with. I first met all the guys when they played Nine Bullets Anniversary Party last year and invited them to play some shows in Colorado after South by Southwest. We had a really great time and during that Colorado stretch, we discussed the possibility of putting out their next album. The band recorded much of “Mergers & Acquisitions” at their practice space. Other parts of the album were recorded with Andy Feldman who co-produced the album with Have Gun Will Travel. Scott Anderson (of HGWT) mixed the album. Steve Connelly mastered the record. The artwork for the album was done by Janell Francois with photography by Kelley Jackson. Devon Stuart of the Takers makes a guest appearance on the record on the song, “Thirteen Miles to Empty”. Having had some time to spend with the record, I can easily say that fans of “Postcards” are going to love this album.
