Album of the Day

Dreadnaught: The American Standard. In December of last year I bought about a dozen used CDs from a guy who was cleaning out his collection. While I found several (cheap) gems, the real standout of the bunch was The American Standard. The band cites a review that described their music as "King Crimson meets Frank Zappa at Willie Nelson's BBQ," which is probably about right. I don't hear too much country, to be honest. But there is lots of twisty, crunchy, cool stuff on here. It is very American, I guess.
