Fans of the venerable local rock outfit the Munks, take note. A month before the Munks put out their new record, three-fifths of the band teams with local singer/songwriter John Lefler, as the Good Time Ramblers, to celebrate the release of a new CD at Sticky Fingerz on Thursday. For the last year or so, the collective has been playing out around town, working through a hearty lot of covers of roots rock and country standards. Their debut CD, “Sinners Welcome,” features a cover of Gram Parsons’ “Las Vegas” and a host of originals that could easily be mistaken for classic country. Lefler sings with an effortless charm and comes by his sharp, infectious songwriting naturally. His mom is Kat Hood, the local folky singer/songwriter who’s been in Little Rock for years. A free copy of “Sinners Welcome” comes with admission.

Also: The To-Do List podcast will return next week, when I’m less allergetic and caught in a deadline crunch. More blogging! Soon!
