What can I say? BK urban bluesman (and Kansas-native) TK Webb was the subject of my first-ever feature story for these guys a few moons back and since then, I've had the pleasure of watching him tear through white knuckled blues, howling psychedlic excursions and most recently, sterling roots and roll, night after night like there was no tomorrow. Without gushing too much, I'd like to say that he's one of those cats who you know was put here to play music when you watch him perform. Fingers sliding over the neck of his guitar pulling and twisting the notes enough to hurt you. You dig? Because it's real. I know some cats who play guitar, but he's a guitar player.
Thanks to Simple Mission extended fam the Social Registry, I'll be previewing a track off of TK's forthcoming Phantom Parade LP for you to check out today. It's just a taste of what's come in the Fall, but if you're hot to trot, I highly recommend seeing him at the midnight show at Tonic this Friday night. He's been playing nearly all of the new album with a sturdy backing band out of as late. In the mean time, here's one for the road.

Bonus: here is a preview of the cover art for the album. It was made by Gang Gang Dance member and visual artist Mr. Brian Degraw.
Double Bonus: The photo seen above was shot by Mr. Joshua Wildman, one of my absolute favorite mayors of the LES and the dude responsible for updating the most next-level photo blog on this earth.
