Album Notes

On Collection Of Bad Habits, the third independent studio release by Possum Jenkins, the Winston-Salem and Boone, NC-based quintet matches their strongest batch of original material with equally compelling production courtesy of Doug Williams (Avett Brothers, Mad Tea Party) of Electro Magnetic Radiation Recorders and former Emma Gibbs Band guitarist and vocalist Richard Upchurch.
In addition to solid playing throughout by the band, guest turns by Will Straughn (Emma Gibbs Band, Shannon Whitworth) and longtime collaborator Aaron Burleson on keyboards add depth to the band’s self-described blend of “Carolinacana.” Swapping instruments throughout and sharing songwriting and lead vocal duties, Possum Jenkins’ driving, country-tinged rockers mesh perfectly with soulful acoustic fare, delivering the band’s most mature and fully realized album to date.
