The Dry County Crooks, "Second Chance At Love," When Hearts Break (MastanMusic)

After seven years touring the forgotten towns of the northwest, the Dry County Crooks found a proper label and enlisted the production talents of living legend Jeremy (Dharma Bums) Wilson for third album When Hearts Break. Not exactly a new direction, but their indiefied country-rock's certainly been enlivened - lightly-twanged riffage suggesting garage rockabilly or restrained punk balladry; something like a home-grown Mescaleros. Prospective single "Second Chance On Love" from the soon-to-be-released disk sounds equally worthy of Nuggets enshrinement or drive time ubiquity.
