The Americana Spotlight – Austin Collins

Category : Podcasts, The Americana Spotlight

On this edition of The Americana Spotlight, I feature Austin Collins & The Rainbirds.  Austin joins me to talk about his new album, Wrong Control, which marks the band’s third release.  I’ve seen Austin several times live over the years and have always enjoyed his sound both vocally along with the rock laiden guitar work.  Wrong Control captures the best of both worlds both on the vocal tracks and instrumentation.  It’s an excellent album which I would highly recommend picking up especially if you lean towards the more heavy side of Rock (Son Volt, The Bottle Rockets, etc) If you will be around Austin, Texas in March make sure you catch one of the band’s seven shows during the upcoming South By Southwest (SXSW) music festival in mid March.  You can learn more about Austin and also pick up his album over on his website www.AustinCollins.net.
