Featuring the fine vocals of Messrs
\nPeek, Beckley and Yorkshire-born
\nBunnell, the country-rock outfit
\nmoulded their own distinct brand
\nof Americana back in the late 60s,
\nbefore splitting and then reuniting
\nin the early 90s. Still going strong,
\nthe core band is supplemented on
\nthe 13-track new studio offering
\nby the likes of Ryan Adams, Ben
\nKweller, Fountains Of Wayne, My
\nMorning Jacket and Nada Surf.<\/p>\n
Their tone remains pretty
\nmuch intact, from the trademark
\nlight vocal lead and harmonies of
\nopener Chasing The Rainbow, to
\nthe lilting Walk In the Woods,
\ncomplete with whistling. Only the
\nclosing Glass King diversifies
\nthings, with its glam-rock backbeat
\nand raspier delivery, though the
\ntablas and electro-acoustic guitars
\nof Ride On come over like The
\nEagles and the dreamy
\nharpsichord of This Time is akin to
\na relaxed Alan Parsons.<\/p>\n
The live set revisits a dozen
\nolder tunes, from the insistent
\nVentura Highway to closing theme
\nsong A Horse With No Name.
\nDon’t Cross The River represents
\ntheir more rocking approach, the
\npiano and strings of Daisy Jane,
\ntheir penchant for the mellow. This
\nserves as a good one-stop for the
\nunfamiliar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
