T-Bone, Old Settler’s and more

A new T Bone Burnett album titled “Tooth of Crime” (Nonesuch) should arrive in stores May 6. It is something of a collaboration with playwright/former Holy Modal Rounder Sam Shepard — the songs vibe off of Shepard’s 1972 play of the same name. Session players include Marc Ribot (who contributed some amazing guitar to the Burnett produced Robert Plant and Alison Krauss album “Raising Sand”) and drummer Jim Keltner.

Former Austin act Windsor For the Derby releases its new album “How We Lost” in May. I suspect it will sound like it could have been on Factory Records circa 1984, but that’s just a guess.

The 21st annual Old Settler’s Music Festival takes place April 17 to 20. Participating acts include Delbert McClinton, David Grisman Bluegrass Experience, The Waybacks, Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives, Bettye LaVette, Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys, The Jones Family Singers and many more. Check out www.oldsettlersmusicfest.org for more information.
