Country music really isn’t our wheelhouse here at MMM-MMMP3s. But I’m calling a spade, a spade. I like this track from the "Ozarks-influenced" Ha Ha Tonka. It’s southern-fried, straight-driving country with a refrain that smacks you in the face with all the subtlety of a Mack truck. But since when did subtlety count for much in pop music? Stream "Usual Suspects" off their latest album Death of a Decade available now via Bloodshot Records.
Ha Ha Tonka will be performing at Austin City Limits this September. I have the feeling that this band really tears it up live — there’s a lot of dramatic potential in that full-barrelled country, just set it up on stage and watch it explode. Oh, and here’s their Twitter if you’re a Twitter-er. Enjoy!
