June Carter Cash: Wildwood Flower -- She's part of a recent trend of old-time country singers coming out with new stuff. Her raspy old voice fits her wild old stories and side-remarks perfectly. Let the youngsters try to keep up.
June Carter Cash: Press On -- This one has a bunch of memorably wild tunes. New stuff plus standards. I can't say how it's different from the other, but both seem necessary
Reverend Horton Heat: Revival -- Two CD set of hard-driving honky-tonkin'. Well, rockabilly really. Screamin' stompin' music.
