With strong ties to Uncle Tupelo and others from the burgeoning alt-country scene of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, the Midwesterners known as The Bottle Rockets have a longstanding reputation for busting out a killer live show, night after night. Take a trip through the band’s deep discography (with most releases coming via the very respectable Bloodshot Records imprint), and you’ll find plenty of twangy gems that nod to both the rock and country canons. Lately, the band has been touring with famed singer-songwriter Marshall Crenshaw and doing double duty as his backup band, so Saturday’s show is a two-fer you won’t want to miss.
