As he helmed the countless incarnations of Wooden Wand, James Jackson Toth traversed the outskirts of folk with experimental musings, but the Tennessee native saved his best for himself. Toth’s solo debut, Waiting in Vain (Rykodisc), delves soulfully into Southern balladry, unraveling the softer threads of Tom Petty, the Rolling Stones, and Robyn Hitchcock. Seattle duo the Dutchess & the Duke opens by burning through a spectrum of Sixties rock, pop, and folk. – Doug Freeman

We all wish Nas had performed Illmatic front to back last weekend at Emo’s. Credit Wu-Tang’s most lyrical swordsman for giving the people what they want: a live recitation of 1995’s classic Liquid Swords to kick off Emo’s 16th anniversary week. Method Man was smoother, ODB more charismatic, and Ghostface spit more complex slang, but true heads know GZA always had the sharpest tongue. Meth said it best: “We form like Voltron, and GZA happens to be the head.” Locals Zeale and Phranchyze open. – Thomas Fawcett

Saturday night of South by Southwest 08, Downtown patrons filed into Cedar Street Courtyard for a casual drink. Within minutes, A Place to Bury Strangers cleared the place with an absolutely deafening set of Joy Division-inspired shoegaze from last year’s self-titled debut. The effect was unintentional. Guitarist/singer Oliver Ackermann custom-designs the NYC-based trio’s sonic effects, but beneath the grating layers of distortion are bona fide pop songs. Locals the Boxing Lesson and Ume open. Earplugs required. – Austin Powell

On the recent Kill Rock Stars-released We Brave Bee Stings And All, Thao Nguyen and backing band The Get Down Stay Down make arresting songs given to bluesy sparseness and nuanced cadence. While her wispy voice, playful melodies, and sense of childlike wonderment suggest just another starry-eyed female folkie, Nguyen’s dense, witty lyricism and subtle quirks (check her beat-boxing on “Bag Of Hammers”) reward deeper study. Opener Horse Feathers makes chamber-pop that frolics outside that genre’s stuffy drawing room with lithe, portable songs. On its 2006 album, Words Are Dead, instruments like mandolin, violin, saw, and cello often stack up for a bigger sound, but the group can also scale it back to just guitar and violin to carry its strong, crafty melodies.

This year Emmylou Harris was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, an overdue honor for one of the most distinctive and pure voices in music. Her excellent new album, All I Intended to Be, delicately weaves meditations on memory and mortality, retracing her past equally in sound as in theme by reuniting with original producer Brian Ahern. Guitar master and recently named No Depression “artist of the decade” Buddy Miller opens. – Doug Freemanmore at austinchronicle.com

The members of Welsh band Bullet For My Valentine obviously grew up loving both the fleet-fingered axe-slingers on Headbangers Ball and the growly plaid-shirted grungesters on Alternative Nation, mixing heavy riffs and emo-style dynamics on 2005’s The Poison and the new Scream Aim Fire. Though the band embodies everything lame and bankrupt about the current too-tough-to-be-emo scene, it’d probably take as a compliment the fact that it’ll likely wind up being regarded as the glam-metal trash of the ’00s. The name Cancer Bats combines two frightful scourges that normally don’t mix, and the same could be said of the Toronto band’s hybrid of punk and Southern metal—and its stock is on the rise since its 2006 debut, Birthing The Giant, and its successor, this year’s Hail Destroyer. Also playing: Bleeding Through.

Swiping a name used by Grateful Dead during its days playing Ken Kesey’s acid parties, The Warlocks cycle through all phases of psychedelia’s past, from California jam fests to New York freak-outs to Krautrock head-trips. Though they peaked early with their mind-blowing 2001 debut, Rise And Fall, The Warlocks are still pumping out serviceable psych-rock with last year’s Heavy Deavy Skull Lover. The Vandelles are overstating things a bit when they claim to have a sound that’s “uniquely theirs”: The Brooklyn group’s noir-ish fuzz mines such heavy inspiration from The Jesus And Mary Chain and ’60s surf that it inevitably recalls The Raveonettes. The band’s notorious live show—a miasma of swirling lights and projections—provides ample excuse to wear Wayfarers after dark. Opening: The Boxing Lesson.

A founding member of At The Drive-In and the frontman of Sparta, singer-guitarist Jim Ward knows how to pack a sonic punch. But he’s got a tender side, too; for the past few years he’s been releasing a trickle of solo songs on compilations that show more of the rustic side he brings to his sporadically active side project Sleepercar. The band’s recent debut, West Texas, is a full-bodied and confident expression of Ward’s guitar-and-piano-drenched pop tunes, twangy epics that fall somewhere between those of Wilco and Radiohead. Memphis punk-country outfit Lucero headlines behind 2006’s Rebels, Rogues & Sworn Brothers. It’s a set of songs that doesn’t do much to repel the quartet’s persistent Replacements comparisons—which is a good thing. Opening: Glossary.
