fat possum records release the third record from the heartless bastards. the record is called 'the mountain' and was produced by mike mccarthy (spoon, trail of dead, patty griffin). 'the mountain' delivers the swamped-up rock howl that fans have come to love from the critically acclaimed heartless bastards, but it also weaves in an adventurous sonic evolution, expanding their three-piece rock palate by adding pedal steel, mandolin, banjo and strings, all in support of erika wennerstrom's transcendent voice that rolling stone once described as 'channeling all the swagger and spit of a young robert plant.' cd only on fat possum.
