OK, I’ll admit it. I’ve been a tad down on “roots rock”, “alt.country”, “cow punk”, “Red dirt” or whatever you may want to call the genre that has historically scratched my musical itch. Perhaps I’ve just listened to too much of that brand and I’ve become a bit bored. Perhaps the influx of great indie-rock albums of recent times has also helped me not pay as much attention to the style that has dominated the pages of this here blog for so long now. Regardless, I’ve been awakened, it seems. Hello, The Avery Set (Official / Myspace).
Originating in Michigan, and now rocking in Nashville, this country-rock quartet that mixes in a bit of folk just pushes my buttons. Overall, their album, Returning to Steam, reminds me a whole hell of a lot of last year’s fantastic Sons of Bill record, One Town Away.
Hopefully, this record is my gateway, back into some solid roots rock goodness.
