Cory Branan NO-Hit Wonder (Red)

Bloodshot celebrates the 10th anniversary of No-Hit Wonder with this Barrel Select edition! Barrel Select exists to highlight the best of Bloodshot’s cask-strength catalog and there’s no doubt that the No-Hit Wonder sits proudly on the top shelf. “Your favorite songwriter’s favorite songwriter” according to Vice Magazine, Cory Branan, with songs covered by Frank Turner and Dashboard Confessional and a circle of friends and collaborators that includes Jason Isbell and the Hold Steady’s Craig Finn (who also grace this album’s credits as guest vocalists). When it came out in 2014, all the people whose taste are worth a damn were raving about it, with Rolling Stone putting it on their list of that year’s best country albums. With ten more years of aging, it’s only gotten better. It hasn’t mellowed, but it makes more sense now that the country mainstream has started to catch up to the level of outlaw cowpunk soul Cory was packing. Our Branan-approved, Barrel Select edition stamps the sound onto Bloodshot Red vinyl and includes a full-size reproduction of the album’s 2014 promo poster with full lyrics and a new note from Cory on its backside. Drink it in. It packs a punch. Featuring appearances from Jason Isbell, Caitlin Rose, Craig Finn, and Tim Easton 10th Anniversary Barrel Select edition on Bloodshot Red vinyl Includes a reproduction of the original promo poster, full lyrics “Cory Branan is your favorite songwriter’s favorite songwriter” —Chicago Tribune “He radiates talent” —Vice “If you’re gazing slunk shouldered at your Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson records as so loved that you’re tired of listening to them, The No-Hit Wonder may just be the project to point your nose toward next. . . This is old school country rock at its finest” —Saving Country Music
