Song:North Central Plain
Album:Dollar Store
Alt country fans will want to check out the two albums by Dollar Store. They are a spinoff of the popular group Waco Brothers featuring that group's lead singer Dean Schlabowske. He is not only the lead singer of Dollar Store but he wrote all the songs. Dollar Store is more rock oriented than Waco Brothers so he may have been looking for an outlet for songs that weren't appropriate for Waco Brothers. Bassist Alan Doughty and drummer Joe Camarillo are are also members of Waco Brothers. Special guests include former Blasters guitarist Dave Alvin and Bloodshot Records mainstay Jon Rauhouse on pedal steel guitar. Dollar Store recorded two albums and they all returned to Waco Brothers and they are still members of that band. Recently Schlabowske has recorded a couple of albums as Ramblin' Deano which can be downloaded from his website. According to his website, Schlabowske moved from Chicago to his home town of Milwaukee in 2017. It's not clear if he is still a member of Waco Brothers. He is still listed on their website. He says he was tired of being in a band and he wanted to return to making his own music. Here's a video of North Central Plain by Dollar Store.
