On Saturday, when I went to Carbon Leaf, another band was playing up here in Vermont, who I got to read about afterward - Findlay Napier and the Bar Room Mountaineers. It's a mouthful of a name, but a worthwhile one. The group is a project from noted musician, Findlay Napier, and it seems that they'll be having an album, Out All Night, to be released October 27th of this year.
These guys are a Scottish ensemble, which is very telling with these guys lyrics and sound, and there's something that really reminds me of autumn here in Vermont with Irish and Scottish music.
I'm not sure that I'd call these guys a folk band. Certainly, they have a sort of traditional sound, but lyrically, they seem far more updated, which is a nice twist. There's energy and life in the songs that I've been able to listen to, especially George, which is an invigorating and exciting listen.
The album isn't out yet, but you can purchase it at their shows, or online via their myspace page before it's released hardcopy.
