1	Shinebox (2001) more music like this by The Gourds On this re-sequenced and expanded version of 1998's Gogitchyershinebox EP, the highlight remains the band's ramshackle acoustic rendition of Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice." But new covers of Nils Lofgren's "Everybody's Missing the Sun" and Billy Joe Shaver's "Omaha" are equally as inspired. Bang-up arrangements of the traditional numbers "Dooley" ... see all copies from $11.58! new only from $14.22!
2	Noble Creatures (2007) more music like this by The Gourds Prolific Austin, TX hillbilly scholars the Gourds' eighth full-length release is the veteran group's most relaxed since 2000s excellent Bolsa de Agua. Noble Creatures, a title gleaned from the Beach Boys-kissed "Gyroscopic," a classic Jimmy Smith rumination on everything from Ulysses to bottle-nose dolphins that ends with the line "Only in ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
3	Blood of the Ram (2004) more music like this by The Gourds Scorch-porch? Beergrass? Hick-hop? All three tags have attempted, and ultimately failed, to successfully relate to the masses the eclectic bits of meat and bone that make up Austin, TX, the Gourds. The bandmembers themselves describe their Twilight Zone, sepia-tone, gravy-drenched fools-gold nuggets as "music for the unwashed and well-read," and ... see all copies from $14.80! new only from $14.80!
4	Heavy Ornamentals (2006) more music like this by The Gourds The Gourds have been relentlessly spewing up quality records that challenge the conventions of both country and pop music with equal parts earnestness and irreverence for over a decade. Bandleaders Kevin Russell and Jimmy Smith write hyper-literate songs that challenge even the most learned grad student while retaining enough "good old boy" idioms ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $14.80!
5	Stadium Blitzer (1998) more music like this by The Gourds To the uninitiated, the title Stadium Blitzer is more likely to conjure up images of German metal music than Americana by way of Texas. Americana, however, complete with accordions and mandolins, is what the Gourds are all about. Originally recorded in 1997, this album received a wider 2001 release, thanks to the folks at Sugar Hill. The first ... see all copies from $14.80! new only from $14.80!
6	Ghosts of Hallelujah (1999) more music like this by The Gourds The Gourds' third full-length, Ghosts of Hallelujah, finds them evolving their sound quite successfully with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Max Johnston and new drummer Keith Langford. Both presences are immediately noticeable on the opening romp, "Up on High," where Langford's idiosyncratic drum riff leads the tune and Johnston's relaxed, ... see all copies from $14.42! new only from $14.42!
7	Exposed Roots: Best of Alt. Country (1999) more music like this by Various Artists This two-disc compilation is subtitled "the best of alternative country" and brings together 24 performances from artists who are a little bit country, a little bit rock & roll, and sometimes a whole lot of both. A nice selection of big to recognizably big names aboard (Johnny Cash, Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch, Gram Parsons, Vic Chesnutt, ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $4.49!
8	Dem's Good Beeble (1997) more music like this by The Gourds As the title of Dem's Good Beeble indicates, the debut album of the Austin-based cowpunk outfit the Gourds is a little bit too kitschy for their own good. But if you can get past that off-putting sense of humor, you'll find that the band has an endearingly ramshackle attack that makes their ragged country-rock ingratiating. Still, Dem's Good ... see all copies from $15.23! new only from $15.23!
9	Bolsa de Agua (2000) more music like this by The Gourds Only a few groups (The Silos, Tragically Hip, Los Lobos among them) have ever come close to capturing the true spirit of the Band. Many have tried, but most have fallen miserably flat. Bolsa de Agua is album number four for the Gourds, but with the recent addition of journeyman alt-country six-stringer Max Johnson, all the pieces are in place: ... see all copies from $16.02! new only from $16.17!
10	From Hell to Breakfast: A Taste of Sugar Hill's Te (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.35! new only from $34.11!
11 view cover	Cow Fish Fowl or Pig (2002) more music like this by The Gourds The photo of the Gourds on the back of the CD booklet makes an odd impression: just a few good old boys, sloppily dressed with beers in hand, sort of a shorthaired version of Lynyrd Skynyrd. But this anti-intellectual pose is just a pose. The title itself, Cow Fish Fowl or Pig seems a bit fantastic, as though someone in the band had spent time in ... see all copies from $15.23! new only from $15.23!
12 view cover	The Rough Guide to Americana (2001) more music like this by Various Artists An alphabet soup of country-tinged musical idioms are ladled up on The Rough Guide to Americana. According to the CD's editor, British journalist Sylvie Simmons, this compilation includes examples of alternative country, country-rock, roots rock, paisley underground, lo-fi country, insurgent country, and no depression styles. Though this barrage ... see all copies from $8.66!
13 view cover	Awesome [Munich] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This comp actually is pretty awesome. Munich Records must be some sort of European licensing way station for American indie folksters and the like, as the dudes that appear here have more connections to the Lone Star State than the entire Bush family. Centro-Matic, the Centro side project South San Gabriel, Denton's noisy Baptist Generals, and ... see all copies from $3.05! new only from $10.76!
