"...it seems that talk is as cheap in LA as it is in Water Valley, what I can say in all certainty is that we're still releasing records just as we always have. So we're shoving this sampler out in the hopes that by the time it's in your hands, we'll all have a little more to celebrate.

Listen to Train Is Leaving

Guy Blakeslee a.k.a. Entrance, is a singer/guitarist who’s spent the past few years journeying and performing across America and abroad, playing on his own as well as opening for colleagues like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Cat Power and Devendra Banhart.

Entrance’s raw materials are the basic vocabulary of vintage rural music, Delta Blues and the “folk” traditions that eventually gave way to honky tonk and C&W, but even more so the extraordinary fluidity and spontaneity that early blues and country performers lived and died by. His secret weapon is a remarkably powerful singing voice that he tends to wield with reckless abandon, soaring, howling, breaking into eerie falsetto.

The 23-year-old Baltimore native taught himself how to play guitar with no formal instruction and as a result to this day he plays with his acoustic guitar flipped over and strung upside-down. Whether there are two people or 2000 in the room; whether he’s alone onstage stomping a tambourine or supported by other hands and bodies…“I always throw my mind out the window and close my eyes until whoever is in charge pulls the plug.”

Here's the tracklisting.

1. Train Is Leaving
2. If You Gotta Go
3. Rex's Blues
4. Wandering Stranger
5. Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor
6. Honey On The Rock
7. Lonesome Road
8. Darling
9. Please Be Careful In New Orleans
10. Happy Trails To You

More R.L. Press

From the LA Alternative Press:
"R.L. Burnside could be your grandfather. If your grandfather happened to be a genius bluesman and party animal who spent time in jail for murder and is revered by blues purists and punk rockers alike."
