"what modern pop has lacked recently...wonderful" The Guardian
One listen to Phantom Limb and you instantly find yourself transported
to that all-too-often unexplored crossroads between country music and
old style R&B. This is a band steeped in a tradition where the two
genres share their musical DNA. It's The Staples Singers fronting The
Band in The Last Waltz, Ray Charles striking gold when he made his first
country album, Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham down in Muscle Shoals
writing Do Right Woman, a song that would go on to be recorded by both
Aretha Franklin and The Flying Burrito Brothers. Their eagerly awaited return is marked by the release of The Pines, the product of relentless touring with the likes of Rumer, The Avett Brothers, The Stax band, the late-great Solomon Burke and Candi Staton. Produced by personal hero Marc Ford (of The Black Crowes) in Los Angeles, The Pines is out now on CD and Hi Def download HERE.
