Deadstring Brothers - Starving Winter Report

It's worthwhile enough that the Deadstring Brothers come from a front-porch where Keith Richards and Gram Parsons jammed away (and maybe Robbie Robertson popped by), but the fact of the matter is that Starving Winter Report is so genuine that we're not listening to a tribute as much as the efforts of a band 'keepin' the flame alive'.

Appreciating country's place in rock and roll, The Deadstring Brothers hit a high with Moonlight Only Knows with its dobro, and tasteful guest fiddle from David Mosher. That's just one example of the band's versatility here. Ross Westerbur's keys on Til the Bleeding Stops add the perfect touch, complementing Marschke's guitar. And frankly the rhythm section of drummer E. Travis Harrett and bassist Philip Karich are the rock solid support that every rock and roll band hopes to have - driving a great cover of The Band's Get Up Jake (some damn fine piano here as well). ~ Full Review at Bumpershot.com
