The mysterious Followill family returns to the front porch/garage on the Kings of Leon’s engaging sophomore effort, Aha Shake Heartbreak. On Youth & Young Manhood, the Kings gave Southern rock a swift kick in the rear, sounding like Lynyrd Skynyrd posing as a bunch of N.Y.U. film students (or vice versa). For their latest, the Nashville quartet raises a flag that’s equal parts Confederate and Union Jack. Their success in the U.K. is understandable, as Caleb Followill’s lazy drawl sounds like a cross between Bon Scott, Ray Davies, and Eddie Money with a slight Jamaican accent, but it’s their seamless and agreeable blend of rock & roll, country, and Roky Erickson-style psychedelia, matched with a keen lyrical wit, that makes them fascinating to both sides of the pond. On the twenty-something barfly opener “Slow Night, So Long,” Caleb laments/celebrates the soulless dance of the one-night stand (“She’s opened up just like she really knows me/I hate her face, but enjoy the company”) like a true student of outlaw country. It’s a theme that runs rampant throughout Heartbreak, and whether it’s set against a swamp-sick boogie (“Pistol of Fire”) or emitted through a lonesome yodel (“Day Old Blues”), it resonates as clear and cool as the opening notes of a Creedence Clearwater Revival tune. – James Christopher Monger

Kings of Leon are fresh off three acclaimed headlining performances at American festivals, Bottle Rock in Napa, CA, Hangout in Gulf Shores, AL, and, most recently, this past weekend’s Governor’s Ball in New York City, during which the festival cancelled the band’s Friday night performance due to Tropical Storm Andrea. The band, upset over the cancellation, worked through the night with festival organizers and management to figure out a way to come back on Saturday. The festival found a place for them on the main stage right before the Saturday headliner, during which the fans were treated to the live premiere of Mechanical Bull’s first single, “Supersoaker”.

Nomadic Southern evangelist Leon Followill may take soap suds to the mouths of the kinfolk wunderkinds–his three sons and a nephew–in Tennessee quartet Kings of Leon, whose second album spins enough cuss phrases and sexual allusions to leave Dolly Parton flushed. But the peculiar 20-something longhairs also fuel up on a filthy shotgun bass and relentless guitar riffs, complementing the delightfully discordant drawl of vocalist Caleb Followill to whittle a 35-minute grab bag of garage rock, English blues, sixties psychedelia, London Calling-ska, spaced-out country waltzes and front-porch, red-state revelry. Without revising its 2003 debut Youth & Young Manhood, producer Ethan Johns (The Jayhawks, Ray LaMontagne) steers the band down a similar mischievous road, integrating poles-apart rhythms and techniques into an energized jumble of rotating tempos and lyrical bombshells. Putting faith in earth-shakers like “Velvet Snow” and “Pistol Of Fire,” the wound down and pleasing “Milk” and its yodeling cousin “Day Old Blues,” the Kings ultimately escape Preacher Leon’s retribution, rendering him speechless–save for a simple “amen.” –Scott Holter
