Wrinkle Neck Mules’ new album, Let the Lead Fly to be released Sept. 22
The long awaited fourth full-length album by the Wrinkle Neck Mules is set to be released on September 22, 2009 by Atlanta record label, Lower 40 Records. Let the Lead Fly (as in bullets) is to be their second record released on Lower 40. The Mules – who have developed a cult-like niche in pockets around the globe- have self produced, engineered and recorded this effort.
German based record label Blue Rose Records will also be releasing the record on September 22 throughout Europe. This will mark The Mules’ second international release.
Let the Lead Fly takes to highlighting banjos, mandolins, mountain harmony and pedal steel guitar. This is certainly nothing new for the band who admits to being a rock band with country bones and bluegrass skin. This Frankenstein is evident from the get-go with a fiddle and banjo sing-along title track, the high school lament “Howard Johnson” and the twisted classic country of “Waters All Run Dry”.
Let the Lead Fly will be available on all popular digital record stores and independent record stores near you.

Poster lovin’…
With all the hype surrounding the June 17th show at the Earl featuring the most enchanting, Night Driving in Small Towns and the modern day troubadour himself, Chris Unck, we decided to do something special for everyone. We commissioned one of Atlanta’s most creative genuises and our dear friend, Rian Hoffer, for a one of a kind spectacular poster. We gave him the freedom to create whatever, and did he ever! We decided that you all should be able to enjoy this sick poster in your own home or office or garage as well. So for a limited time you can purchase it for the rock bottom price of $10! And we aren’t just giving you the poster, we will also send you some killer stickers. And that covers the cost of shipping. What a deal right?!?!? Just click on the poster and you can get the funds squared away. And before you know it, you will be admiring it along with a sticker or two, in person. And don’t forget to come out to the Earl on June 17!
Night Driving @ the Masquerade tomorrow night!
Night Driving has been given the honor of sharing the bill with Blowing Trees over at the Masquerade tomorrow, June 3. Tickets are $8 in advance. We have them to sell if you are interested. Email us at contact@lower40records.com and we will hook you up. And if you can’t make it to this show, you can always catch Night Driving with Chris Unck at the Earl on June 17th. Or you could do both! We are just sayin’……..
