ALBUMs

This is a one of those, put the roof down on the car, roll up your sleeves, foot on the gas and get some miles under those tyres, type of record. A rock 'n' roll line can be drawn from The Stones, via Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and The Eagles in the influence stakes on this very listenable album.

Bobby Keys, the legend that is, the Rolling Stones Sax Man of choice and Americana darling, Caitlin Rose both appear on the album.  All bases get covered here, Rock songs, Country and a ballad or two. This is the band’s fourth full-length LP.

Based in Nashville, Tennessee, ‘comments band leader Fredson excitedly, about the Bobby Keys saxophone solo at the end of ‘Riding the Clutch’ ‘“That was a pretty special moment to have such a legend grace us with his musical presence on record with us."

He continues, "The album is self-titled because of all the records we've ever made, we think this is the one that represents our live show and musical allegiances the most,"  "This is the record where what we heard in our heads made a perfect transition onto record, and self-titling it seemed like the most simple, effective way to represent what we had created."

Engineered and produced by Dexter Green at the Nashville-based Sealab Studios, the band took nearly a year to make the record and besides the appearance of Bobby Keys and Caitlin Rose, the album features appearances by Melissa Mathes, Margo Price, and Alex Caress (all on background vocals), horns by John Painter, and some expert keyboard work from Jefferson Crow. 

After a year in the studio, the band is quick to point out that the record came out better than they could have imagined something Fredson is undeniably proud of. You should give it a listen as well.
