Shinyribs: Transit Damage [CD]

Leaving Time - the 9th studio album from Austin icon Shinyribs - is a fitting return to the roots. Reunited with the artist's original record label, Nine Mile Records, Leaving Time sets aside the Soul horns and backup singers that have been a staple of the big Shinyribs band, in favor of a more stripped-down approach to this collection of songs. Producer/multi-instrumentalist David Beck leans into the Americana side of Kevin Russell's sound, recalling the artist's early Nine Mile records Well After Awhile & Gulf Coast Museum, as well as the more sincere side of Russell's legendary band The Gourds. Joining Russell and Beck in the studio are bassist Mason Hankamer and pedal steel player Marty Muse from the Shinyribs touring band, drummer Dees Stribling (Robert Earl Keen), and keyboardist Jonny Keys (Uncle Lucius)

Shinyribs' 10th full-length record - Real Alligator - continues the musical journey leader Kevin Russell began on 2025's Leaving Time, incorporating soulful Country and folk into their trademark Swamp Pop sound. The album includes a number of songs Russell penned as solo compositions, giving the record a more personal, introspective vibe than previous Shinyribs outings. The band, in kind, has transformed into a smaller, more versatile unit, able to interpret these intimate compositions as well as the bolder, more raucous material, like the first single "Arkansas Mud." Real Alligator is also the first Shinyribs record on Austin's innovative non-profit label Spaceflight Records, adding an important new rootsy contribution to their growing catalog that already includes Texas rock legends like Toadies, The Black Angels, and Heartless Bastards. Shinyribs will be on tour across the U.S. throughout the Fall to promote Real Alligator.
