Hi everyone,
We hope you don't mind us sharing the latest review of our album, 'The Single Life'.
13 Nov 2008 22:58
RadioIndy Reviews: “The Single Life” is the debut release from The Big River Bandits, a versatile and talented group with a refined sound that blends traditional and contemporary styles of country music including bluegrass, rockabilly and swing. The lead vocals are shared by founding members Renee Sears and Gerry Power who co-write the band’s original material. Their highly-polished sound is characterized by honest lyrics, heartfelt vocals, and spirited instrumental performances. The group’s mastery of the traditional country style is evident with the energetic “Girls Night Out” and the good-humoured “Whisky Drinker's Lament,” with Sears providing the vocals on the former and Power on the latter. “She Don’t Care” is another strong traditional number, featuring a notable lead guitar performance from Power. “Let's Take A Walk” is a more contemporary track featuring a funky groove, baritone sax and blistering lead guitar by Power. “Little Pieces Of My Heart” shows that the group can also shine while performing lovely ballads, and Sears gives a expressive, sincere performance. Sears also infuses her personality into the playful title track “The Single Life,” demonstrating her infectious style and soulful vocal approach. This album will appeal to the young and old, freestyle and line dancers, and fans of both traditional and contemporary country music.
