Stop the train and tell all those Alt Country/Folk Pop imitators
to get off because the real deal is riding the rails in the form of New Country Rehab. NCR first caught everyone's ear with their self-titled debut album back
in 2011, but now they're back with Ghost
Of Your Charms which will be released on March the 5th via Kelp Records (home of Jim Bryson and HILOTRONS). A mixture of old school magic with
"The Image of Me" to the electrified Alt explosions of "The Bank
and the Army", Ghost Of Your Charms
does not sit back on its laurels as it builds with each track until you are
begging for more. Lead singer John Showman's voice is very hard to identify,
it's not that laid back drawl a lot of folk rock singers seem to have adopted
these days, it's got a feverish pitch to it and lays claim to the music like it
owns it right out.
I have not had the chance to catch them live but from all
that I've read they kick some serious stage, so if you get a chance check them
out live on their upcoming dates (listed below).

"Luxury Motel" via soundcloud from the forthcoming album "Ghost
of Your Charms" out on Kelp Records on March 5, 2013.
