2/12: Lowe Farm Records is proud to be releasing the debut album from Casey James Prestwood! Best known for his groundbreaking work as lead guitarist and driving force behind emo/indie staples Hot Rod Circuit, his debut solo album, The Hurtin' Kind will be released in April 2007. Showcasing his life-long passion for honky tonk from the good ol' days of country rock n roll, Prestwood's debut evokes memories of Gram Parsons and Merle Haggard. His band features a wide range of talent, from Arabella Harrison, who fronted emo pioneers Jejune, to Neil Flanz, steel player for Parsons himself.

Everyone that orders a poster will also get a complimentary CD of their performance on KUT's Live Set that aired the day of the CD release show. The CD sounds great and includes exclusive songs not available anywhere else.
