New Additions: Blind Horse Campaign album by Grafton

Seeing Grafton live back in 2001 or 2002 was a special experience - the band was loud, bluesy, boozy and able to pull off a garage rock sound that dripped Midwestern authenticity. I was 100% on board with their debut at the time but did not give the follow up Blind Horse Campaign, released on Dead Canary Records in 2003, the same consideration. For whatever reason, it didn't snap into my brain the same way the debut did, but having picked it up on vinyl, I can say it definitely hits all the right notes.
