First, there is no one in the band named Boris Garcia; it’s the name of the band which includes Jeff Otto/voc/uk, Bob Stirner/voc/g, Bud Burroughs/mand-key, Tim Kelly : Dru, EJ Simpson/b, Chip Desnoyers/steel, Tom Hampton/st and Tim Carbone/fid-g. They make a go if it mixing up musical genres, ranging from C&W ditties lie “Another Day” and “I’d Do Anything” to gospel infused “3 Steps” and 70s pop “Mary Fields.” Stirner has a kind of Roger McGuinn tone in his voice, with the band showing some Byrd seeds on “Knockin’ on Wood” and a dash of the Flying Burrito Brothers during “Mendocino” with even some good ol’ bluegrass taking you to the Cumberland Gap on “Feather and Down.” Lots of picking to grin about here.
