"Brown Cane Toad"

What we anticipate seldom occurs, but what we least expect generally happens. Take unexpected resurrections, for instance. The Woodbox Gang are putting out their first album since 2012. The album will be released in the spring or summer of 2025. You can preorder the album. For only $20 you will get the new CD shipped to your address and a digital download of the full album (US only). It will also be released on vinyl (not for the perceived sound quality, but for the album cover aesthetics). Unfortunately, at the moment there's no international preorder. The new album will be titled "Brown Cane Toad". According to the frontfigures Hugh DeNeal and Alex Kirt, it's going to be an all-acoustic album including a washboard (upgraded with a paint brush cleaner to achieve a softer sound), dobro, acoustic guitar, upright bass, mandolin and banjo. The frontfigures have declared that they will not try to go down some new route. They will return to where it all started with trashcan Americana and caustic acoustic cacophony. In my opinion, very good and fitting epithets. Why do they want to release an album after all these years? The Woodbox Gang feel that they need to make some new music because there's new things going on in the world. I think the new album will be rough around the edges. Spicy language cannot be ruled out. I want to get a copy of the new album. A lot of time has passed. In March 2025 it's going to be 25 years since the Woodbox Gang played their first show together at the Yellow Moon Cafe in Cobden, IL. In fact, 25 years in the genre is like 100 years in real life.
