If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Chad Cochran Last month we brought you "Talkin' to Myself" from Sarah Shook & the Disarmers, describing it sounding like early Tom Petty. It was more of a classic rock sound with some elements of country and New Wave. (You know... like Tom Petty.) Their follow up release brings back the country with a vengeance. If anything, "No Mistakes" might be the most country song that Sarah Shook & the Disarmers have ever released. This is the country from your youth, the kind your dad made you listen to on long drives. It sounds more like someone trying to update a Johnny Cash classic in the 1970's than anything released in this century. If that appeals to you, you're probably already a fan of this band.

You can pre-order the album here . For more on Sara...

It's the kind of tweaked sound that helps keep us excited to hear more from a favorite artist. You can watch the video for "Talkin' To Myself" below. Nightroamer is due out February 18 on Thir...
