Uncut Magazine’s Wild Mercury Sound blog has premiered two more live studio session videos of Time Off tracks in alternate versions: “Old Strange” and “Trailways Ramble.” Plus reviews, interviews, and features from The Fader, PopMatters, Spin, and more.
The self-titled debut by Promised Land Sound (formerly Promised Land) finds the young Nashville band cooking up some serious red dirt/swamp boogie & country-fried choogle à la Jim Ford, Link Wray, and Dennis Linde, with tunes that are singularly propulsive, but reflectively rooted in the finest Southern songcraft. William Tyler guests.
For a limited time, The Fader is kindly streaming the entirety of Steve Gunn’s brilliant Time Off, which will be in stores worldwide on Tuesday, June 18.
With the release of Time Off just days away, we’re offering a fresh batch of Steve Gunn press, his WXPN studio session, Chris Forsyth live recordings, and more goodies. Dig in!
Steve and the boys recorded this Time Off tune, and others from the album, at Brooklyn’s beautiful Atlantic Sound Studios overlooking the East River and the Manhattan Bridge. Don’t miss the Philadelphia and Brooklyn Time Off release parties to experience the trio live!
The Search is over: pre-orders are now available for the country/psych reissue of the summer. Check out details of the deluxe package and stream “Mr. Freedom Man,” courtesy of American Songwriter magazine.

The private press masterpiece by Johnny Cash’s friend Chance Martin, In Search sounds like some unholy pot likker of Waylon & Funkadelic. Welcome to the Dead End.
Updates on the PoB artist roster, including Steve Gunn’s Time Off and David Letterman appearance with Kurt Vile, Hiss Golden Messenger in the Oxford American and New York Magazine, and Chris Forsyth’s residency at Ortlieb’s.
PoB is delighted to join Johnny Cash’s longtime friend, visionary Nashville artist Chance Martin, in announcing the first-ever reissue of his 1981 private-press masterpiece. Ringleader, maestro, and indomitable troubadour of Nashville’s most private, elusive and exclusive far-out scene – the Dead End – Chance (aka Alamo Jones, the Voice in Black, aka the Stoned Ranger) could have stepped from the pages of a Charles Portis novel or Coen Bros. script.
