Midnight Airwaves Review
Much of this music comes from a different time and place, when swing was king, smoky dance halls resonated with acousic jazz & swing, and bluegrass music was was evolving from the roots of the Appalachian Mountains and melding with the blues. Music that faded with the onslaught of rock, yet was such a great influence on it. A mix of vintage swing, bluegrass, western swing, folk; covers and originals. All tied together by great playing on acoustic instruments; resophonic guitar (Dobro-tm),upright bass, mandolin, guitar, & fiddle. Vocals range from high & lonesome three part harmony, to sultry solos.
