randomly found this record today, and thus far i am really digging it. its called national bohemian by the bridge, their 5th, and is due out on 2.1. im only about 5 songs in, but like i said i am really digging it. kinda sounds like if los lobos had been been born out of the south instead of east los angeles. not sure if all their records sound as such, or maybe its just the influence, but los lobos’ steve berlin produced the record. being a huge los lobos fan, this is definitely not a bad thing, in fact sonically it sounds very much like a later day los lobos or latin playboys record. so if that sounds like your thing, definitely check this out when it comes out, or stream the entire thing down there.

6 mouths to feed – and big guys to boot – lot for a band god bless ‘em. Sound is kinda rootsy.
There a great group. They have definitely evolved over the passed 5 albums. Great musicians great songs. By far my favorite band. You’ll enjoy the other ablbums “cross street market” , Self Titled “the bridge” and “Blind Mans Hill” all excellent. Enjoy the blusey, nawlins, funk, Jam session that is the bridge.
