As the year draws to a close, it’s time to look back at the best music of 2008.
In no particular order these albums have become favorites as a whole, not just for their individual singles or for a handful of tracks.
Their third album, Let’s All Go To Bed, is gathering accolades left and right (including being on our top albums of the year) and they’re getting ready to get back on the road for a few dates in California and Arizona before the holidays.
After putting up their Christmas tree, singer-songwriter and guitarist Teal Collins of the Austin-based band, The Mother Truckers paused to answer some questions.
With a scant fifty audience members, local Boulder band the Unknown Americans started the show at the Fox Theater with their songs of barbecue and founding fathers.
Up next came the Austin-based Mother Truckers with their rocking country tunes, a bluesy cover of Love Me Like A Man and momentarily awkward conversations about Billy Joe Shaver.
The crowd was still, as Teal Collins put it, arranged like chess pieces, with nobody crowding each other.
Finally, band leader Ray Benson and the rest of Asleep at the Wheel took the stage.
