NEW ALBUM ALERT. Freight Train Rabbit Killer’s third album "The Ten Year", releases worldwide on June 6, 2025. The group’s signature doom-blues sound is featured with three original song narratives, a blues classic by Blind Gary Davis, and a B-Side consisting entirely of the 20-minute foggy soundscape Forest of Whispers. Conceived as a celebration of the ten-year existence of the band, the album showcases new unreleased music recorded over three different recording sessions over the band’s musical span.

The album was pressed to vinyl in three limited color variants (red, blue, and yellow) to match the haunting cover image created by Rabbit Killer. Check out the Haymaker website for information on how to order the album and information on the vinyl release party on June 6 at Lemonade Park

We lost a good one last week. Justin Wilson recorded the second album "Mammoth" for the Jorge Arana Trio. He graciously offered up his studio and home at Sound 81 for the creation of that album, as well as so many others. He also helped with the music festival Outer Reaches for several years as we worked through a period of rebranding for the festival. Through his years of sound engineering at SoundTrek Studios and Sound 81, he became a key contributor to Kansas City's blues and jazz scene. He was also a member of The Recording Academy for the Grammy Awards and was invited to the Grammy Awards from 2019-2023. He won a Grammy Award in the productions category and was awarded the Brit Award in England. We'll miss Justin. He was a very giving person
