After just a couple seconds of putting on this vintage sounding C&W album, my mind drifted to “who does this guy remind me of?”. And then it ht me by the 5th song, as there’s a tune by Marty Robbins, a mariachi’d “Tonight Carmen”, that displays a tribute in style to the famed cowboy. Dasher writes almost everything else, and it sounds like a nice night at The Palomino as he sings and plays a variety of guitars with Justin Amaral/dr/perc, Daniel Seymour/b, Scotty Sanders/stg-dob, Lorenzo Molina Ruiz/tp-tb, Jim VanCleve/fid-mand, Nathan Johnson/key and some cameo guests.
There is some nice Link Wray 50s riffing mood on “Revolver In The Field” and rockabilly’d “Somehting’s Changed” and title tune that are hard to keep still with. There’s a Nashville glow with dobro on “Beneath the Silver Maple”, with Dasher creating a tear for your bear in “Rest Of Our Lives”. Dasher sounds drifting planes dusty, and sings like he’s imbibed from the right waters. Check him out.
Vintage bluegrass is produced by Jackson Melnick as he sings along with support from Tuck Tucker/dob, Christopher Henry/mand-ban-gui-g-dob, Smith Curry -pstg, Chloe Feoranzo/cl an some guests on fiddle, banjo and vocals. You get some rural harmonies with picking and grinning on “John The Revelator” and “The Rhythm That Has No End”, while the title track has Jason Carter fiddling about on the two stepper. A mix of Bob Dylan folk and steel guitars make up “San Diego” while gospel folk gives a Sunday morning feel to “South of My Soul”. Minstrel moods on mandolin and clarinet make “Raghse Zarrat” a clever gumbo, and the team waltzes well on “Still I See You”. Today’s troubadours.
