Bring the infield to your backyard with some Bristol tunes

Hey, you! Looking for a little new music to get you through a Pocono weekend? Then head on over to Amazon or iTunes and pick up "Bristol Nights," a new compilation CD that's focused entirely on everybody's favorite bathtub track!

Produced by Banshee Music, which has put together compilations for the Green Bay Packers, Orlando Magic, Ohio State and other sports entities, "Bristol Nights" collects 12 tunes by a bunch of country music folks who -- well, you probably haven't heard of many of 'em, but they put their hearts into it, let's say that. The roster includes Whiskey Falls, Swagger, Colt Ford, Crash City, Silvergun and a few other folks. (Aside: Is there anything in 21st-century America that a guy named "Colt Ford" could possibly be but a country singer?)

The music's big, anthemic crowd-pleasing country and pseudo-rap-rock, lots of "whooo!"s and "come on now!"s, lots of harkening back to the way things oughta be. You can imagine this stuff blasting out over speakers at the track, with plenty of gyrating honeys and half-drunk dudes hollering along. In short, it's perfect for race weekend -- even if you're nowhere near a track.

Don't believe me? You can stream a couple "Bristol Nights" tunes by clicking right here, and then you can buy the whole deal at Amazon and iTunes. (It's digital only. Real-world media is so 2004.)

Now, if these cats could release a companion CD of drivers' cursing over the radio at Bristol -- perhaps even set to music -- they'd have themselves the perfect collection.
