In honor of its 30th anniversary, Red House Records is releasing a reissue of Greg Brown’s classic “The Iowa Waltz.” The Iowa folk legend’s seminal album was the first-ever release for the label, which is honoring the milestone with newly remastered CD and LP formats. The album is scheduled for release on Oct. 22.

Local act Gloom Balloon — comprised of Christopher “The Conquered” Ford and Patrick Tape Fleming — has released its first single and is currently getting some press from the folks at Spin magazine. For as confounding as the act’s live shows can be, “She Was the One That Got Away” is actually a solid piece of work, assuming you’re into CTC and PTF to begin with. Check it out for yourself at www.spin.com/articles/gloom-balloon-she-was-the-one-that-got-away-stream.
