Roadside
Giant delivers
their anticipated second release "Camellia Motel",
a diverse and intimate work, bar-fueled and driven by
heartfelt words and song. |
16
tracks rise from middle Florida with vivid postcards of
all that has come through the windshield - love tales,
murder ballads, and bent elbow howls.Eugene King's night
time gravel road vocals are accompanied in some songs
by the sparsest guitar while other tracks are full, with
broad, dreamy pedal steel, organ and drums. The coterie
of musicians that join Eugene on this incarnation of Roadside
Giant range from jazz heads to country purist.
"Camellia Motel" brings back Thomas Juliano
(7 Mary 3) on guitars and mandolin. Gary Lee Hibbard plays
pedal and lap steel. Anthony Cole (Sam
Rivers Orchestra/Trio) on drums, bass, and organ while
Steve Burry and Terri Binion offer the sweetest of vocal
accompaniment. This record will send whispers of American
Music Club and Mark Lanegan while taking you to a place
you may have been before, were glad when you left, but
still
love hearing about. |
Riverbottom
Nightmare Band
Kept afloat by its talented players, the Riverbottom
Nightmare Band has quietly established itself as Orlando’s
de facto favorite bluegrass band. When this mostly all-star
lineup of musicians gets together, the result is a feel-great
dose of down-home traditional acoustic bluegrass spiked
with country-flavored jams that kick ass like a Lynchberg
lemonade.
You will find the Riverbottom Nightmare Band's name among
the nominated acts for the Country/Folk category
in the Orlando Weekly's Orlando Music Awards in
past years.
