New Additions:
 The Disco Biscuits - Planet Anthem CD - The Disco Biscuits are an entirely different band today than they were when they first broke out of Philadelphia in the mid-90s. The Disco Biscuits are still very much the pioneers of "trance-fusion," bridging the gap between electronic music and jam bands. After spending the past three years in the studio during breaks in touring they've resurfaced with 'Planet Anthem,' a CD that is undeniably unlike anything else they've ever created before. $15.98
 The Drive By Truckers- The Big To-Do CD / LP - The album, which is the band's tenth in their thirteen-year career. The Big To-Do features thirteen new tracks from the Drive-By Truckers and was produced by their long time producer, David Barbe (Sugar, Bettye LaVette). 'It s very much a rock album,' says Patterson Hood of the Trucker s upcoming release. 'Very melodic and more rocking than anything we've done since disc 2 of Southern Rock Opera.'
Hood and Mike Cooley continue to be the chief songwriters of the group, continuing a musical partnership that has lasted over twentythree years. Bassist, Shonna Tucker, flexes her songwriting muscles once again by contributing two original songs to the album. Brad Morgan (drums), John Neff (guitar/pedal steel) and Jay Gonzalez (keyboards) round out the current Drive-By Truckers lineup.
The band recently backed legendary R&B musician, Booker T. Jones, on his critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated album, Potato Hole. The album is nominated for Best Pop Instrumental Album and Best Rock Instrumental Performance. CD $14.98 / 2LP $24.98
