MIKE COYKENDALL AND THE GOLDEN SHAG, WHALEBONES, PEARLY GATE MUSIC(Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi) Hot on the heels of last year's The Unbearable Being of Likeness recording, as well as an album and tour with She and Him, journeyman musician and producer Mike Coykendall somehow found time to record a new double album with his band the Golden Shag. No word as to exactly when the new album will be released, but a tune from it, titled "As Lost as You Are," turned up on End Hits, the Mercury's music blog. It's a Tom Pettyesque churner, a guitar-driven rock rumbler with energy to spare. "As Lost as You Are" is of a piece with Coykendall's solo idiom, unfancy and purposeful rock and roll that clearly shows—despite his many gigs backing other talents—Coykendall's solo stuff is no slouch.
