EP Review – New Americans “The RCA Sessions” + free download
One part Bruce, one part Steve Earle, the two song EP titled “The RCA Sessions,” from Nashville five piece the New Americans is a breath of fresh air.
Recorded by veteran engineer/producer Russ Long, the two new songs “Cheer Up Beauty,” and “The River,” feature the dusky vocals of Brian Redahan floating on a delightfully low-fi landcape of retro guitars and drums played with primal energy. The sound is a fine mix of gospel, modern rock and country and mid western melancholy.
Lets hope this is just a preview of great things to come from these fellas because it is so encouraging to hear real honest American rock from young players.
The band is offering free downloads of the new EP at their Band Camp Site :
