In the mail, I recieved I small package that contained a CD. When I opened it I was surprised to see the a EP from Battlestar America. I wrote about their album last year. For whatever reason, they sent me a free CD with six new songs on it.

Battlestar America is a mix of honky-tonk and rap, mixing turntables with fiddles. When you read about it, it sounds weird. When you hear it, it sounds great. They seem to be calling themselves B Star now. Their old site is still up at Battlestar America, so I'm a little confused as to what exactly is going on.

Give it a listen. I'd recommend Bootleg Dreams, Someone Like Me, and Yellowbelly. You can listen to the whole album on their site.

Trust me, once your hear a few songs, you'll be hooked.
