About this product

The Freelancer's Blues, the second full-length LP from Brooklyn's country crooner Dougie Poole, captures it's current moment like nothing else. Poole updates the sto- rytelling backbone of country music for an audience that is young, urban, romantically alienated and financially pre- carious, using the same threads spun by Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson before him to write his own anthems for a new generation of country music fans. With his debut album Wideass Highway Dougie Poole established himself as forerunner in a class of musicians who grew up in a post-genre ecosystem equally as like- ly to be influenced by Ariel Pink and Animal Collective as Dolly Parton and Dwight Yoakam. With this follow-up, Dougie graduates from his drum machine and synthe- sizer bedroom country to a full band with honky-tonk harmonies, wailing pedal steel, and a full backing band. Produced by Jonathan Schenke (PC Worship, Gong Gong Gong, Public Practice) InchThe Freelancer's BluesInch does the impossible of staying true to Poole's heritage in the DIY scenes of New York and Providence while si- multaneously certifying him as a country music bonafide.

2026 collection from the Power Pop icons. 19 studio, live, and demo tracks from across their storied career. Features the return of their classic cover of Badfinger's InchNo Matter What,Inch and other hard-to-find performances. The Knack was far from a one-hit wonder. But, sometimes, we need to be reminded of that.

Omnivore Recordings has been honored to have a decade-plus relationship with Zen Records. Knackology The Zen Recordings collects 19 classic Knack performances. From pre-Get The Knack demos (InchThat's What The Little Girls DoInch), to a live InchLet Me Out,Inch Knackology shows the band's genesis. Follow that with more across the globe performances of hits including InchGood Girls Don't,Inch InchBaby Talks Dirty,Inch InchOne Day At A Time,Inch and-naturally-InchMy Sharona,Inch and feel the live power that caused a bidding war for their debut, and how it never relented onstage throughout their tenure. Also included are studio tracks from their releases Zoom (which Fieger called their best album) and Normal As The Next Guy, showcasing that they were never truly that Inchone hit wonderInch tag they had been slapped with. Add in rarities like their cover of Badfinger's InchNo Matter WhatInch (originally released on a Badfinger tribute) and you have a total Knack education and experience. This collection is mastered by multiple Grammy-winning engineer Michael Graves, and features liner notes from Grammy-winner Lee Lodyga (who has helmed Knack reissues for Capitol Records, Virgin Records, and Omnivore Recordings.)
