Free Album Friday: Dixie Dirt

Knoxville's Dixie Dirt does not sound as its name implies. The band does not play Appalachian melodies, country, or Americana roots rock. Rather, this female-fronted band is equal parts Neil Young, Sonic Youth, Ragged Glory, with a little dirty Knoxville sound thrown in for good measure. Dixie Dirt makes organic, gritty, and ambitious songs that begin with soft restraint, building to grainy kaleidoscopic intensity. Lynn Point Records has Dixie Dirt's entire Springtime is for the Hopeless and other ideas disc available as a free download (including cover art).
