{"product_id":"shinyribs-real-alligator-lp-vinyl","title":"Shinyribs – Real Alligator","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKevin Russell has been one of Austin's most reliably inventive voices since his days fronting The Gourds, a band that built a devoted following through relentless touring and a willingness to blur country, blues, and swamp funk into something entirely their own. That spirit carries forward here, with Russell and a leaner Shinyribs lineup finding room for both quiet confession and full-throttle Saturday night release, the kind of range that only comes from years of working a room from the inside out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShinyribs' 10th full-length record - Real Alligator - continues the musical journey leader Kevin Russell began on 2025's Leaving Time, incorporating soulful Country and folk into their trademark Swamp Pop sound. The album includes a number of songs Russell penned as solo compositions, giving the record a more personal, introspective vibe than previous Shinyribs outings. The band, in kind, has transformed into a smaller, more versatile unit, able to interpret these intimate compositions as well as the bolder, more raucous material, like the first single \"\"Arkansas Mud.\"\" Real Alligator is also the first Shinyribs record on Austin's innovative non-profit label Spaceflight Records, adding an important new rootsy contribution to their growing catalog that already includes Texas rock legends like Toadies, The Black Angels, and Heartless Bastards. Shinyribs will be on tour across the U.S. throughout the Fall to promote Real Alligator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Good To Be Human\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Arkansas Mud\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Real Alligator\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Madman \u0026amp; Mademoiselle\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Bag Of Weed\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. What Happens Next\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Hospital Again\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Matagorda Bay\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Pinecone Steppin'\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. I Left My Backpack In San Marcos\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Bye Bye Ray Ray\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 634457263741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spaceflight Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.9.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54683179057470,"sku":"332721083","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12677718475070-transparent-v2.png?v=1792623874","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/shinyribs-real-alligator-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
