Justin Jeansonne & Conrad Moore

CRITIC'S PICK:
Wed. March 4
Justin Jeansonne, Conrad Moore, Eddie's Attic - One look at Alabama's Jeansonne and his band and you know this outfit means business. His outlaw country is strongly informed by the usual suspects; Waylon, Willie, Merle, David Allan Coe are name-checked in his bio, but there's more. Pedal steel and harmonica are prominent in his dark twang, with some perky Asleep at the Wheel honky-tonk and a penchant for ballads on his new EP, Cowboys of the Road, also evident. He has the pipes, the attitude, and the look, keeping the sound lean and mean with gentle tendencies, like his legendary influences. - Hal Horowitz
