Seems like 4 out of every 5 new bands I discover these days are from Brooklyn, NY. Here’s another one: Tom Hamilton’s American Babies. This tune caught my ear recently, I think on Sirius. Influences range from Ryan Adams to Bright Eyes to Mr. Springsteen. But in this one, I hear Rodney Crowell.
Catchy, quality roots-rockin’ goin’ down right here. Oh, also, drumming in the band is Joe Russo from Benevento-Russo Duo.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen more American Babies shows than all but maybe 10 people in the world, so I overwhelmingly trumpet today’s suggestion. These guys get better every time, and their songs are damn good. Definitely check ‘em out when they hit your town.
