With ten more years of aging, it’s only gotten better. It hasn’t mellowed, but it makes more sense now that the country mainstream has started to catch up to the level of outlaw cowpunk soul Cory was packing.\n\nOur Branan-approved, Barrel Select edition stamps the sound onto Bloodshot Red vinyl and includes a full-size reproduction of the album’s 2014 promo poster with full lyrics and a new note from Cory on its backside.\n\nDrink it in. It packs a punch.\n\n\nFeaturing appearances from Jason Isbell, Caitlin Rose, Craig Finn, and Tim Easton\n\n10th Anniversary Barrel Select edition on Bloodshot Red vinyl\n\nIncludes a reproduction of the original promo poster, full lyrics\n\n“Cory Branan is your favorite songwriter’s favorite songwriter” —Chicago Tribune\n\n“He radiates talent” —Vice\n\n“If you’re gazing slunk shouldered at your Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson records as so loved that you’re tired of listening to them, The No-Hit Wonder may just be the project to point your nose toward next. . . This is old school country rock at its finest”\n—Saving Country Music\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloodshot","offers":[{"title":"Red LP","offer_id":50448348152139,"sku":"2220794","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_63762861_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727090325"},{"product_id":"the-no-hit-wonder","title":"The No Hit Wonder","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeatures a who's who cast of heroes and peers, including Craig Finn and Steve Selvidge (Hold Steady), Jason Isbell, Caitlin Rose, Austin Lucas, and Tim Easton.

Not the cheeriest of openings, but like all of Branan's mercurial work, it's probably not what you think. As funny and defiant as it is touching and sad, this self-dubbed \"loser's survival kit\" doesn't spare its subjects or the listener. Never a genre loyalist, Branan's trademark lyrical agility is mirrored sonically as Adios finds Branan coloring outside the lines in all shades of fuzz and twang, much like his musically restless heroes Elvis Costello and Tom Waits.
