THE JAMES LOW WESTERN FRONT'S 'WHISKEY FARMER' OUT TODAY--OREGON MUSIC NEWS CALLS IT A 'MUST-HAVE

"This album is a must-have for anyone who says they “don’t listen to country” yet has a stash of good ol’ Western in their collection. It’s also recommended for fans of soulful singer/songwriters like Amos Lee, or High Desert/Mesa rock similar to The Refreshments or Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. It may be best played through the dash of an old pickup truck or through a dusty jukebox, if you’ve got one handy. Mixed with a healthy dose of sunshine for the former or an adult beverage for the latter." Read the full review on Oregon Music News here.

NEW VIDEO FROM THE JAMES LOW WESTERN FRONT; BAND RELEASES "WHISKEY FARMER" THIS FEBRUARY ON UNION MADE RECORDS

"The James Low Western Front’s new full-length, Whiskey Farmer, expertly and effortlessly delivers just that. The band may come from the lush climes of Portland, Oregon, but theirs is a sound that was born in towns like Nashville, Tennessee and Bakersfield, California. It shuffles, grooves, and sweats with the best of them, begging to be played through the in dash stereo of a pickup truck.
It's with that mood and setting in mind that Low wrote and the band (Tim Huggins, bass/vocals; Dave Camp, guitar/vocals; Joe Mengis, drums) arranged the album’s tracks.
The eight-song collection focuses on the plight of the titular character (portrayed on the front cover of the album by Low himself), someone that has, according to Low, "always done things kind of right- did OK in school, went to a generic college, racked up a shitload of debt, and got a job to pay off the debt. He drinks to forget. He alienates the ones who love him best, and just cannot believe that this is all there is to life." Watch the video here.
