Discover - The Whiskey Saints

Posted over 3 years ago

I'm diggin this CD. The Whiskey Saints have a great mix of sounds on this their debute full length disc. This track leads off the CD. Let me know what you think.

Here's more from their CD Baby Page:

The impeccable songwriting combination of David Sparrow, David Bloomfield and Rob Hughes coupled with Sparrow's wholesome full-bodied voice have helped to make The Whiskey Saints a shining star in the Los Angeles music world. Add Jeff Bell on the drums and you've got a band that's as equally explosive as it is expressive as they deliver their rock infused country, that enjoys honeyed-harmonies just as much as thunderous guitars.

In addition to the traditional rock model their arrangements call upon piano, mandolin and organ to bring Sparrow's melodies to life and make their songs feel like a long forgotten friend that you've just met for the first time. Their Alt-Country sound favors rock to twang and The Whiskey Saints' commitment to the integrity of their craft resides within their demure character. With influences like Ryan Adams, The Jayhawks, Wilco and Tom Petty it's not hard to understand why The Whiskey Saints cherish the American tradition of lyricism and catchy melodies.

       This is the kind of "meat & pataoes" rocknroll that I always retreat to when all the other genres fail me.
