New Music Tuesday - May 11th

Matt Kennon: Matt Kennon: Newcomer Matt Kennon has already made quite a mark with his impressively powerful debut single "The Call."  Now comes the singer-songwriter's full-length album that is filled with his take on country music infused with a big dose of rock.  Expect songs like "Drive It Like You Stole It," Mama Raised The Hell Outta Me" and "Too Loud" complete with Kennon's gritty vocal.

Kris Kristofferson: Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends: The Publishing Demos 1968-72: Legendary singer-songwriter and actor Kris Kristofferson is often touted for his impressive writing skills.  Go back into the past when this Rhodes scholar was still a struggling songwriter who was working as a janitor at Capitol Records all the while penning classic songs like "Me and Bobby McGee" and the title track.  The collection features 16 sparsely produced tracks along with a 60-page full color booklet that includes interviews with the man himself, Dennis Hopper and Merle Haggard.
