Tishamingo, a leader among the new wave of Southern rockers, have signed with Magnatude Records (an imprint of Magna Carta). Their new album Wear N’ Tear, produced by David Barbe (Drive by Truckers) and mixed by John Keane (Widespread Panic, R.E.M., Stockholm Syndrome) will be released on February 1, 2005. Wear N’ Tear has a strong Southern Rock flavor mixed with good old blues-based rock ‘n’ roll, skillful jamming, soulful singing and honest lyrics. You’ll hear how the music of the late ‘60’s and early ‘70’s, as well as growing up in the swampy wetlands of northern Florida, has influenced the band’s playing and writing. Listen to their cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd"s "Poison Whiskey" on the MP3 Page.
