Where their 2010 album Diamonds \u0026amp; Gasoline was anchored on several songs with a rock \u0026amp; roll bent -- including a stomping cover of John Hartford's \"Long Hot Summer Days\" -- Goodbye Normal Street gets into the dust and dirt of Texan country, the songs of Evan Felker often recalling those of Steve Earle or Townes Van Zandt. The Troubadours have a relaxed, broken-in virtuosity -- they're as comfortable kicking up the dirt on \"Before the Devil Knows We're Dead\" as they are laying back with a summery groove on \"Southeastern Son,\" jerking out tears on the sad \"Gone, Gone, Gone,\" or rocking \u0026amp; rolling a Cajun-inspired groove on \"Quit While I'm Ahead\" -- and this road-tested musicality perfectly suits the sturdiness of Felker's songs, which never have a wasted word or melodic line. This understated nature can mean that Goodbye Normal Street doesn't grab hold upon its first listen but it is, as they say, a grower, the kind of record that slowly reveals its depths and eventually seems like an album that you've always known by heart. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2012-05-08\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2012-05-08\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TURNPIKE TROUBADOURS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53520030990520,"sku":"9RBWJB-BT3J-MM","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/turnpike-troubadours-goodbye-normal-street_OzhaF.jpg?v=1779982915","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/turnpike-troubadours-goodbye-normal-street","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
