Lead singer Jesse Elliott has a wonderfully evocative voice that seems to dance through the even more evocative lyrics, and he has a stellar cast of musicians behind him.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen them a couple of times now, and was particularly impressed by their gig at The Wormhole last month. I mentioned that gig in a previous post and included a few pics, but I&#8217;ve got more here, plus the Soundcloud stream of the entire link with a button to purchase it. I don&#8217;t know how much longer that the album will remain streaming in its entirety now that it&#8217;s been released. <\/p>\n<p>Brooke Atwood also mentioned last month&#8217;s These United States gig in Savannah on her blog <a href=\"http:\/\/mystylebass.com\/music\/savannah-these-united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\">My Style Bass<\/a> and used (with permission of course!) a few of the pics here.<\/p>\n<p>I think the album is excellent and I hope the band will be back through here again soon.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F1368476&#038;show_artwork=true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Click for supersized versions:<\/p>\n<p><!-- AgOAP7qW-BNO -->\n<!-- Cincopa WordPress plugin wp1.163: \/\/www.cincopa.com\/media-platform\/wordpress-plugin.aspx -->\n<div id=\"cp_widget_AgOAP7qW-BNO_325dded37a73d2966c1ef09eea35423a\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cincopa.com\/media-platform\/runtime\/loading.gif?w=594\" style=\"border:0;\" alt=\"Cincopa WordPress plugin\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\/* PLEASE CHANGE DEFAULT EXCERPT HANDLING TO CLEAN OR FULL (go to your Wordpress Dashboard\/Settings\/Cincopa Options ... *\/\n\/\/ cp_load_widget(\"AgOAP7qW-BNO\", \"cp_widget_AgOAP7qW-BNO_325dded37a73d2966c1ef09eea35423a\");\n<\/script>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdawers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Screen-shot-2012-06-14-at-7.22.31-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3175\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.billdawers.com\/2012\/06\/14\/these-united-states-release-self-titled-new-album-streaming-embed-plus-photos-from-their-latest-savannah-gig\/screen-shot-2012-06-14-at-7-22-31-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdawers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Screen-shot-2012-06-14-at-7.22.31-PM-e1339716149781.png?fit=650%2C451\" data-orig-size=\"650,451\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen shot 2012-06-14 at 7.22.31 PM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdawers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Screen-shot-2012-06-14-at-7.22.31-PM-e1339716149781.png?fit=300%2C208\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdawers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Screen-shot-2012-06-14-at-7.22.31-PM-e1339716149781.png?fit=594%2C412\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdawers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Screen-shot-2012-06-14-at-7.22.31-PM-e1339716149781.png?resize=594%2C412\" alt=\"\" title=\"Screen shot 2012-06-14 at 7.22.31 PM\" width=\"594\" height=\"412\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3175\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"e26b170012445c56d240655bdd03f7bf\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none;
