What might happen if you took the rootsier qualities of The Black Crowes, a little of the gritty vocal edge of John Fogerty and a broad love of American rock? Chances are you’d end up with a band that sounded a little like Howlin Rain.

The retro rockers are set to unveil their fifth album ‘The Alligator Bride’, but first a new single… Released a week prior to the album, ‘Missouri’ will be downloadable from the usual outlets on June 2nd, but you can watch the full video clip right now, as it’s streaming in full below.
