Jr. Juggernaut | Ghost Poison
Got an email the other day from Suburban Home Records (home of Two Cow Garage & Drag the River) promoting the release of Jr. Juggernaut’s Ghost Poison and that it’s available as a free download for a limited time (200 downloads) here. So get it while you can.
Listening to it now and think that those who enjoy Two Cow Garage, The Replacements, Drag the River would like this. They list their influences on myspace as follows: “NEIL YOUNG, REPLACEMENTS, HUSKER DU, STEVE EARLE, JAY FARRAR, JOHNNY WINTER, DOUG SAHM, RAY WYLIE HUBBARD, DINOSAUR JR, BYRDS, DOC WATSON, STOOGES, GERMS, WILIS ALAN RAMSEY, TOM PETTY…ETC” Thats an impressive list and this band is well worth checking out.
