Austin, TX: A new release from Lost Art Records captures the legendary singer-songwriter Blaze Foley on his earliest known recordings. Simple, straightforward and strong, “Sittin’ by the Road” contains a dozen tracks recorded during Blaze’s “tree house” days in Georgia.
The 12 tracks featured on “Sittin’ by the Road” were recorded by Blaze in the mid-1970s on the home reel-to-reel machine he carried with him on his travels between Texas and rural Georgia. These songs showcase Blaze’s talent in early form. The CD includes a number of Blaze’s songs that are now considered his classics. Sittin’ also boasts three Foley songs that do not appear on any of his previous recordings; ‘The Way You Smile’, ‘Fat Boy’, and the title track.

Hank III is releasing his new record (and LAST on Curb Records) called “Rebel Within” on May 25th. Check out the brand new song ’Drinkin’ Ain’t Hard To Do’ on www.myspace.com/hank3
Nashville native Hank Williams III has built his musical brand around hard-hitting songs, an ornery Hellbilly attitude and a do-it-yourself ethos, as he wrote 10 of the album’s 11 original tracks, did the vocals, played drums and the acoustic rhythm guitar parts. And he recorded and produced the album at his home studio. “I don’t like being told what to do, and I don’t need to be told what my record should sound like,” says Hank. “I got that covered.”
