Listen: Stream Cass McCombs' new album, Humor Risk
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater November 3rd, 2011

A couple of weeks ago we posted a review of Cass McCombs' new album Humor Risk, scoring it 8/10 and writing that, placed with Wits Ends "the pair stand as a neat assessment of McCombs’ silky talent to combine gloom with old country glamour. Neither of these are ‘classic’ records but they’re classic Cass and that should be good enough for anyone who lends their ears to this flawed but brilliant individual."

It is released on Monday through Domino, but you can also listen to the entire thing a few days before its release, as a try-before-you-buy type deal. Do so below:
