Doc Marshall's Tour Kick-Off Show: Ana Amram & The Rough Gems / The Crevulators

Stephanie Carlin, Neighbor

Nashville's Cajun honky-tonkers The Doc Marshalls are launching their biggest North American tour at Union Hall. Their new album, "Look Out, Compadre" (May 15, 2012), uses lush choruses to sing tales of last stands, exploding houses, love gone wrong, and the calm that forgiveness brings.

Alana Amram & The Rough Gems' latest release, "Painted Lady", is largely a family affair with mom, sister, and father in tow. Rounded out by a cast of first rate local performers, the Rough Gems are a versatile vehicle for her most country-influenced effort to date. Amram's jangly acoustic guitar and reverb-kissed melodies recall the best elements of the Byrds-era California country rock.
