Twelve fiery new tracks (and five interludes) coming your way on Friday and a show at Mid City Ballroom on Saturday!

Sunrise People with the Rakers and William Edward Thompson

The Rakers return to the Mid City Ballroom with our old friends Sunrise People and a solo acoustic set from the great William Edward Thompson (Heavy Mantle, Secret Smoker). Click the image for tickets.

The Rakers recently recorded a collaboration with our pal, sludge master Joey Carbo (Woorms), at his amazing studio, the Hospital. He produced a single for us, and the Rakers backed him on a Brian Jonestown Massacre cover. Check it out here:

Alex V. Cook with Jeff Tweedy of Wilco

A Conversation with Jeff Tweedy

Our own Alex V. Cook recently interviewed Wilco frontman, alt-country pioneer and Raker hero Jeff Tweedy at the Manship Theatre here in Baton Rouge. Jeff was in town to talk about his excellent book "How to Write One Song." Who knew that California Stars was about a quilt pattern? What an incredible night.

“The sixth album from the Baton Rouge, LA-based The Rakers is a rambling mix of Americana rock that lurches and stumbles from booth to table top in a local dive bar telling tales and regaling the clientele with off-center poetry as The Morality of Heart Transplants delivers the group's nine songs; if that sounds fun, wooly, odd, and a touch off-putting, that is the point.” - Rock the Body Electric
