thinking of you

One of my favorite underappreciated bands is Louisville, KY's Freakwater and lo & behold, they're just about to come out with their first album since 1999's End Time. The time in between has seen solo efforts from both Catherine Irwin and Janet Bean, but now they're back together - much to my delight - on Thinking of You. It'll be released next Tuesday, but in the meantime, you can listen to two songs from the new album and many from their previous efforts here as well as finding out more about Freakwater. (Amazon also has five mp3s to download -I recommend "Good for Nothing.") As if the new album wasn't enough, they're even touring. Have you ever had one of those moments where it seems like you're up against an endless stream of blah - if you're lucky, that's all it is - and all of sudden, something beautifully unexpected comes at you? That's what I feel like right now.
