After a week off, United States of Americana is back! We checked out a couple of tunes from Henry and Howard Coward, known collectively as The Coward Brothers (it's actually longtime friends Elvis Costello and T Bone Burnett!) They just released their first new material in years. It's also been years since Jamey Johnson dropped new material, we'll check a tune from his long-awaited album, plus a brand-new song from Drive-By Truckers member Patterson Hood, and a new local tune from Clare Doyle.
