It's a little bit odd to
find a Honky Tonk /
Bakersfield band coming
from Brooklyn, but The
Dixons proves that a good
country record has
nothing to do with
geography.This quintet
gathered all the elements
you're right to expect
from such a record : tons
of pedal steel, good
vocals, twangy
telecaster, guest fiddle
and solod songwriting
with tales of loves gone
by and broken hearts.
Lead singer Jeffrey
Mowrer wrote eight of the
eleven tracks here, the
remaining three being
from the catalog of Ray
Price (I've Got A New
Heartache), Ernest Tubb (Thanks
A Lot) and Eric Kinsey
and his Tip Top Daddies (Just
Say You'll Be Mine).
And though their
influences are to be
found in the great
masters of the past (Buck
Owens, Ray Price, George
Jones, Harlan Howard...
You get the picture?)
they are by no means a
retro band. they keep
this music fresh and
contemporary, just a
today's country band with
roots like The Derailers
and Dwight Yoakam were
before them. A long lost
thing in Nashville it
seems.
The whole thing comes in
a superb digipack and is
available here.
Another killer from Cow
Island music.
