Andrew did an interview/​performance in August via landline telephone with PhoningItIn.​net They just put it up and you can either stream the whole thing or download it. It’s right around 30 mins. He played a few tracks from “Galilee”, one from “Magnolia State”, and a brand new one. Check it out here:

Here’s what they had to say about the interview:

“Andrew Bryant phones it in from Pittsboro, MS. Our first call to the Magnolia State. With a rich, deep voice recalling Jackson C. Frank with a Southern accent, Andrew cinematically charts the back roads of Mississippi rural boredom, marginal living, and the eventual chains of responsible adulthood. Raised on the tension between his parents’ Hank Williams and mail-order punk rock, he eventually returned to his country roots (you can’t run, can you?) and hasn’t looked back, releasing six albums in five years, with at least another in the can. If you like Lucero, you’ll love Andrew Bryant; and if love Lucero, well this guy’s married, so you’ll just have to cool it.”

Andrew Bryant’s “Galilee” makes me a believer:

“These tracks are almost insights into the life of a man finding the dark part of himself and digging through the blood and guts of it all…I picture the journey at mid-point by looking at the album cover…you know there is beauty, but there is just enough to get your hands dirty…”

After a nice long wait on the “Galilee” LPs, we’ve finally got them in. They look and sound great. There are a few different places to pick up the album and hopefully more to come soon.

If you live in the Memphis, TN area you can purchase the album from Goner, Shangri-La, and Spin Street.  If you live in the Oxford, MS area, you can purchase the album at Off Square Books. If not, you can always purchase the album online from the Magnolia State Records online store.  Also, Vinyl Collective will have the album for sale this week.  I heard they are having a big sale and we’ll post something about that when we get more info.

That’s it for now, expect a post in the next day or two about a full album stream.

dick & charlie (chicago)Hello all, I’m back from the summer tour with Theodore and I would like to thank all the folks who came to the shows and made me food and gave me a place to stay.

I’ll be hanging around Mississippi for a while but more tour dates are in the works for the fall as well as a lot of other things.

The Galilee vinyl is in and Daniel and I are mailing all the preorders today and tomorrow, so keep a close check on your mailbox.

cheers,

GalileeYou can now buy “Galilee” in digital format on iTunes and Amazonmp3.com. It looks like it’s cheaper on Amazon by almost a dollar. But don’t worry, the tangible product in on it’s way. It’s on the press as I’m typing. I’ll keep you posted on the record.

iTunes ($9.90)
AmazonMP3.com ($8.99)

A literate and eclectic batch of country and blues-inspired songs that recalls John Hiatt and J.J. Cale, Galilee is Bryant’s sixth record in five years, an impressive run for any artist. He uses Memphis musicians and has played the area frequently since the days of his college band Never Cry Wolf more than a half dozen years ago. But if you’ve never heard of this prolific tunesmith, it may be because Bryant prefers to live far from the bright lights of the city in tiny Bruce, Miss., about 25 miles outside of Oxford.
