Ever since the Gourds went on a break a few years ago, Austin’s Kevin Russell has kept things funky and fun with Shinyribs. The band put out another great album this year called Okra Candy, and Shinyribs plays a special New Year’s Eve show at Gruene Hall. This week on My KUTX, Russell is our guest DJ, spinning the songs that he loves best. Listen in the player below.
