Saddle Sores (vinyl release), the Jerrells (vinyl release)

Jeremy Slemenda works a Saturday-night double shift on South Congress with both of his outfits dropping new 7-inch singles. The Jerrells step up first, following up the rockabilly blister of the quintet’s 2021 debut Wanted Man, with the new small plate of “Shoot Shoot Shoot” between “One More Drink.” The Saddle Sores, meanwhile, slide their rockabilly sound further down the country spectrum, cutting their boogies with Western swing and honky-tonk flavors from 2020’s You Again. Their new vinyl slings “I’m Over Being Sober Over You” b/w “Sweet Tooth Baby.” – Doug Freeman
