The Southern Shame – Orion EP
The newest release from The Southern Shame, the 7-track Orion EP,  is a ramshacklin’, country infused romp. While certain songs like “Woke Up This Morning†tell macabre tales of murder hangovers, the real treat comes with “The Ballad of Jimmy Ellisâ€, an ode to the Elvis Impersonator of the same name who ran his record label off Belmont Blvd for many many years. If you’re curious to learn more about the EP’s namesake, just watch this movie.
On the whole, the EP is a refreshing dose of alt-country / near-country tales well worth a listen or three of your time.
