Rough Trade Country Shops

The sixth Rough Trade Shops compilation is out now. Entitled "Country," it takes a look at some of our favorite (largely) American tunes from the early '80s to the present day. Once again you might not get exactly what you expect from the title, some of these tunes are more akin to rock 'n' roll or rockabilly, even punk and blues. There's even a cover of a Snoop Dogg song. Forty tracks on two CDs by such notable artists as Calexico, Handsome Family, Uncle Tupelo, The Gun Club, Songs: Ohia, X, Whiskeytown, The Mekons, Souled American, Lucinda Williams, and Richard Buckner.
