Free Music Review: Old wine in new bottles. But, man, it's good, good wine
Hit: 4 Stars
I caught The Band of Heathens by chance at the Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival last Sunday. What a great live band. I snatched up this, their first studio CD, right away. These guys are the real deal. Their sound may not be original or unique, but it's a great sound, and they nail it. The musicianship is excellent, they've got great songwriting chops, and it's music that makes you want to get up and move. Or crack a few beers and kick back.
I think the Amazon review comparing them to the Eagles is totally wide of the mark. This stuff is more in the vein of blues/roots/country rock/Southern Fried. And it's organic where the Eagles always seemed slick and canned to me. I'd say a bit of early Little Feat, a touch of The Band. Solid songs. And there are some big names gracing these tracks, too. Patty Griffin on a few, Gurf Morlix adding some texture.
As a heathen myself, I'm expecting some great things out of this band of songwriters. Check them out.
The Band of Heathens Poster
Known for their live albums, the best Austin band of 2007 (Austin Chronicle) shows that Austin's indie spirit is alive and well with this set that feels like the young Eagles come to Texas, mix it up with the locals and play to the fans rather than the industry hipsters. Smart southern/country rock that has some heartland heart running through it as well. A sure bet for anyone that's ever grooved to that vibe and wants more without it being more of the same. Often described as this millennium's bastard stepchild of the mating of Little Feat and The Band. Produced by Ray Wylie Hubbard if that's keeping it real enough for you.Country Music CDs
