To celebrate the release of ‘Wes Tirey Sings Selected Works of Billy the Kid’, on Sun Cru, watch his video for ‘Work 5’ – “…Lost cowboy psych folk, maybe. Concrete cowboy poetry with a tinge of old weird Americana. Ominous lo fi 70s Western soundtrack.”
Dorothy Carter’s 1976 debut album, Troubadour, is to be reissued for the first time by Drag City. Taken from that album, listen to the mesmerising Masquerade, released as a single today.
