{"product_id":"all-bad","title":"All Bad","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll Bad,\u003c\/em\u003e the latest album from Nick Shoulders, ultimately encapsulates everything that makes Shoulders’ inimitable form of country music so vital: a heady balance of dazzling musicianship and punk defiance, coupled with gritty eccentricity and a generational connection to the roots of the genre. With a singing style inherited from his family’s vocal lineage, Nick’s songs achieve the rare feat of imparting difficult truths while inciting a certain joyful abandon, balancing a sound forged by years of hard travel with a heartfelt reverence for the origins of country music. In the spirit of Hazel Dickens and Jimmy Driftwood, the incisive yet wildly jubilant \u003cem\u003eAll Bad\u003c\/em\u003e vocally objects to the reckless destruction of the natural landscape and development run rampant, while still offering plenty of joy and dance-ready rhythms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpanning a variety of early country styles, the album’s infectious harmonies shine alongside everything from jangling cajun waltzes to surf-rock infused bluesy ballads–all tied together by a voice seemingly out of place in this century, yet ever ready to speak up about its problems. Released via Gar Hole Records (a label founded and co-owned by Shoulders), \u003cem\u003eAll Bad\u003c\/em\u003e marks the first LP made with his longtime band, the \u003cem\u003eOkay Crawdad\u003c\/em\u003e, since 2019’s premier full-length\u003cem\u003e Okay, Crawdad\u003c\/em\u003e and their subsequent pandemic-imposed hiatus. After writing most of the album from the front seat of a tour van, the Fayetteville, AR-based musician and bandmates Grant D’Aubin (harmonies\/bass), Cheech Moosekian (drums) and Jack Studer (lead guitar) recorded the album in a home studio on the banks of the mississippi river with New Orleans collaborators Ross Farbe and Sam Doores.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gar Hole Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Pink","offer_id":51358151803211,"sku":"R4737-3136","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/201375023176.jpg?v=1740745282","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/all-bad","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
