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

Despite sporting a more straightforward take on rock than typically associated with Mississippi shack-blues label Fat Possum, Cincinnati’s Heartless Bastards were championed by The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney and soon inked a deal. The Bastards’ 2005 debut, Stairs And Elevators, found lots of fans and received plenty of glowing reviews, most of which focused on singer-guitarist Erika Wennerstrom and her powerful vocals.

Bridging dissonance and joy, Chris Simpson’s conglomerate Zookeeper mingles with Austin sixpiece/Belle City Pop! labelmates Sad Accordions. Simpson (Gloria Record, Mineral) demolished the walls of songwriting on Zookeeper’s 2007 debut LP, Becoming All Things, and Sad Accordions’ Slint-meets-Wilco slow burn translates into A Bad Year for the Sharons. Locals Loxsly, Bill Baird’s Sunset, Frank Smith, and Wine & Revolution join in on the summer fun. – Darcie Stevensmore at austinchronicle.com
