Bringing a healthy dose of thrash and bash to their folk- and blues-rooted tunes, San Francisco duo Two Gallants will release The Bloom and the Blight on September 4th. It's their first record in five years and inaugural effort with ATO. Here, you can check out the entire record, which includes crunchers like "My Love Won't Wait," somber swooners like "Decay," and road-weary rockers like "Ride Away." You can also pre-order The Bloom and the Blight on iTunes and check out the Two Gallant's batch of U.S. and Europe tour dates throughout the fall.

Song Stories

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
