Tim Barry solo record

I can't stand Avail, never have liked them, but their singer Tim Barry just released a psuedo Honky Tonk solo record that has some of the most beautiful songwriting I have heard in awhile. I highly recommend for those of you interested in this particular style of music.
Tim Barry "Rivanna Junction" It just came out on Suburban Home records who also has Drag the River on it's label. Another good Honky Tonk group.

Hony Tonk = The hardcore retirement plan.

I've heard a few of these songs and they are good. it's pretty interesting and lyrically it's cool.

PS: I love Avail

BD, here is the address for the Tim Barry Stuff. A couple of the better Avail albums in my opinion are Dixie, Front Porch Stories and 4AM Friday. One of the best shows I have ever seen too.

BD,
"Dixe" and "4am friday" are both amazing albums....I also recommend their first album "satiate",and if you get a chance to see them live,don't pass it up...great band.
