New Additions: Reviled! album by Burn Barrel

Burn Barrel's 1999 album Reviled! is not that easy to come by, which surprised me. CDs tend to have the lowest resale/easiest acquisition ratio, even more-so than cassettes, whose more fragile nature makes them a bit more scarce. In the case of Burn Barrel, this is the first instance where "addition" simply means "listening on Spotify," because I wasn't able to track down a copy of the album.

While I'm a music collector, the liner notes of albums have have been incredibly important and discovering the links and backstory to many albums and bands, so not having the physical release is disappointing, but it's the music that counts. And the music here is very good. Elements of 90s alternative country tinged with occasional psychedelic freak-out jamming and 70s singer/songwriter balladry all mix nicely.
