Western Centuries - Songs From The Deluge
Catalogue No: DIRTLP0086
Barcode: 877746008610
With Songs from the Deluge, honky-tonk supergroup Western Centuries brings country music home to its eclectic and unpretentious origins. Recorded and co-produced by acclaimed Cajun musician and Grammy-winning producer Joel Savoy at his Eunice, LA studio, this fresh set of songs spans psychedelia, boogie-woogie, and quixotic tales of love. The carefully honed sound is supported by the band�s signature literary approach to lyricism. Throughout the album's 12 songs, Western Centuries� three songwriters (Ethan Lawton, Cahalen Morrison, Jim Miller) traverse vastly differing geographies�the city, the Southwest, the metaphysical�and weave together a tapestry of Western music without sacrificing their hard-earned country dancehall sound. Indeed, Songs from the Deluge harmonizes three distinct songwriting voices into a sound that pulls from the great expanse of American music: Delta blues, Appalachian string band music, Texas fiddle traditions, cowboy songs. This record will levitate heavy hearts, turn spilled beer into ballads, and reclaim the multifaceted roots of country.
