MP3 At 3PM: Brent Amaker & The Rodeo

Seattle-based country kingpin Brent Amaker (pronounced AW-mawk-er) and his band have just dropped a digital single as a teaser of their upcoming new album, and it’s a strangely apt cover of the 1983 Ric Ocasek new-wave classic “I Can’t Wait.” With his trademark stripped-back, old-school Bakersfield outlaw-country sound, Amaker turns the delirious ’80s crapstorm original into a tidy little country number you wouldn’t be surprised to hear on the dance floor of places like his hometown’s Little Red Hen. Download “I Can’t Wait” below.
