How quickly the music world's whims change. Just a few months ago, the blog-o-sphere (this site included) was abuzz with praise for L.A.'s The Broken West and its album I Can't Go On, I'll Go On. Fast forward to now, and the band isn't getting as many mentions. Of course, this year has been great so far for really good albums. Seriously, can anyone remember a recent year that was as front-loaded with marquee releases?
So it's not the band's fault at all if The Broken West has gotten lost in the shuffle. To remind yourself of the of their pearly power-pop, head over to My Old Kentucky Blog, where the band stopped by recently to play "So it Goes" and "Down in the Valley." Or catch them live at upcoming headlining and supporting dates. Follow on after the jump for those details...
