In a career that stretches back a good decade, singer-songwriter Tim Easton has always been on the verge of breaking big. His 2009 album, Porcupine, won a couple of Independent Music Awards. With his forthcoming album, Not Cool, which he recorded in a mere five days, Easton returned to his roots and drops the alt from his alt-country sound to embrace an old school country vibe. (Niesel)
