I was pretty bummed out that I wasn't able to get to SXSW this year. Things just didn't pan out the way I had hoped they would. But even then if I was able to go, in the end, the timing just isn't right me this year.

Back in Episode 95 of The Americana Rock Mix, I featued the newest album from The Gaslight Anthem, "American Slang", as one of my top albums of the year. To this day, I still listen to the album at least every couple of weeks. On my show I featured the songs "Stay Lucky" and "Orphans", but I present you with yet another reason you should already own this album:

The music video for "Bring It On" from their newest album and one of my top albums of 2010, "American Slang".

This is a LONG episode, clocking in right around 2 hours and 47 minutes. This is the longest solo show I've ever done. These are all bands that made the final cut for my TOP 23 ALBUMS OF THE YEAR, which can be found HERE. Enjoy.
