I love finding new music

Jason Lee Wilson… but even better than just finding new music in general, is finding new music by someone you thought had disappeared.

A couple years ago, Kim and I went back to Chattanooga to visit some of my family, and to go to the annual Riverbend Festival. While there, I discovered a great rockabilly band called the Cumberland Runners, and promptly bought their CD.

I’ve been waiting fir a new one ever since. Tonight, I was doing a lyric search for one of their songs and ran across a mention of Jason Lee Wilson, who happened to be the singer. iTunes is selling JLW’s solo album so I had to buy it immediately … and it’s great!

I don’t know if this means that the Runners are no more (and I certainly hope not) but my new music fix will be satisfied for a few more days.
