SOTD #129 // Ha Ha Tonka: ‘Walking On A Devil's Backbone’ [Bloodshot Takeover]
To mark Bloodshot Records Week here at TLOBF, the self-titled ‘insurgent country’ label are taking over our Song Of The Day column for the whole week. Today they kick off with an Mp3 from Wilco/ REM-esque rockers Ha Ha Tonka.
Coming straight out of Springfield, MO, Ha Ha Tonka specialize in disarming and effortless anthems that owe as much to high and lonesome Ozarks mountain music as chugging college rock. Today’s free download is ‘Walking On The Devil’s Backbone’ which is taken from their stunning 2009 album Novel Sounds Of The Nouveau South.
Novel Sounds Of The Nouveau South is available to buy from the official Bloodshot Records website now.
