No Country in a Nutshell: The Weekly Recap | 11.18-11.24

Here we are. The week of Thanksgiving, Black Friday (and Black Friday Record Store Day) madness, and the start of everything Christmas all happens in the course of about three days. While some may find it absurd and some may be too excited, we’re busy working here at No Country. Last week we covered a lot of shows and helped everyone get to know Johnny Marr and The Weeks as they finished out our week with their epic shows. As always, we will continue with the holiday giving as we present more exciting music news and show coverage.
