Red Grapes in the City is the debut EP of The Sugar Oaks, out independently this year, following the single Los Rebeldes released last year. you can stream all 5 tracks of the EP, almost in their entirety, on the official site [http://www.thesugaroaks.com], now how do you like that? the correct answer is thank you, and only if it's any good. you be the judge; i am posting on comment the aforementioned single, a regular presence in my playlists as of late.the group based out Orlando, Florida, makes folk-blues-soul that can calm the nerves out of all neuroses. i'd say stoner folk with occasional outbursts of eclecticism (most bursting in a track called Banana Leaf) but that's just me. i don't claim to or can't tell my James (Taylor) from my Jim (Croce) from my Joan (Baez) but i am surprised that no one has mentioned Gorky's Zygotic Mynci and the Canterbury folk scene because that is the vibe i am fishing out of still waters (mind the ever so folksy speak, hah), at least, of indie Americana variety.The Sugar Oaks are new moggers (yay, welcome!)
