BR549 aren't a country band, they're a country band. Allow me to explain. When you press play on a BR549 track, you're treating your ears to something they're never going to find on pop-influenced country radio. It's western swing, it's honky-tonk, it's rockabilly, it's neotraditional (a word I didn't even know existed until today).

With a career over a decade long and counting, BR549 have accumulated some phenomenal belt-notches. They've been featured in Rolling Stone, on the PBS show Austin City Limits, and have shared the stage with everyone from Bob Dylan to The Black Crowes to Brian Setzer.

, the band's most recent release, is now available on Amie Street.

Must-hear tracks:

**Bonus trivia: "BR5-49" was the phone number for Junior Sample's used car lot on the television show Hee Haw. That's where the name comes from.
