Morphing from straight up Southern rock a’la 38 Special and Molly Hatchett to old-timey bluegrass to rock’n’roll jam band White Denim get down! They hail from Austin, home of SXSW and definitely give off the Southwestern laid back and solid kind of vibe.

I was fortunate to catch a bit of their 2012 performance. Hopefully I’ll see the whole thing this year!

“It has taken five records to make one that sounds the way we do onstage,” says White Denim frontman James Petralli, explaining the band’s new full-length Corsicana Lemonade.

The Austin, TX four-piece is no stranger to mixing crunchy punk energy, scorched psychedelia, Southern rock and knotty funk, but Corsicana Lemonade, the group’s fifth studio album, naturally covers so many bases that it plays like the greatest lost mixtape you could find on your dashboard during a hot summer afternoon.
