Now let's return for the first time in a couple weeks to our tradition of sharing some highlights from A Routes & Branches Guide To Feeding Your Monster (our deliriously updated release calendar). Even though we haven't drawn attention to it, stuff has been added throughout The Waiting Weeks. One of our favorites from last year is set for a deluxe reissue. You can expect a few new tracks on Morgan Wade's Reckless, hitting shelves on January 28 (Ladylike). Undersung alt.country band Massy Ferguson returns with Joe's Meat & Grocery (North and Left, Feb 1). Sarah Borges collaborates with producer/guitarist Eric Ambel on Together Alone (Blue Corn Music, Feb 18). Last year I celebrated a series of singles that were being released by Amanda Anne Platt & the Honeycutters. They've finally been gathered and packaged as Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, wherever music matters on Organic Records February 25. Place a gold star on April 22, when Old Crow Medicine Show return with Paint This Town (ATO, Apr 22).
