Jack Fister, Paige Plaisance (album release), Rattlesnake Milk, Valley Flower

Paige Plaisance’s self-proclaimed “swampy tonk” has been heating up South Austin over the past year and gets a proper pressing with her debut LP, Louisiana Lonely. As the title implies, the songs dig deep into her bayou roots cut with Texas dance hall, shifting from homesick ballads (“Highway 65,” “Back Home Feelin’”) and proper honky-tonkers (“Good Time Girl”) to Louisiana-fried piano boogies (“Love You First”). Plaisance swings fearless and sincere backed by her Yeah You Right Boys, with a string of guests lined up to join her onstage. Rattlesnake Milk, Valley Flower, and Jack Fister provide support. – Doug Freeman
