When you already know, you already know: after a good friend really helpful it, I made it a mere 30 seconds into Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band’s album Dancing on the Edge earlier than hitting the purchase button. I additionally didn’t anticipate Dancing on the Edge to reach within the mail earlier than shopping for Ship Flowers from Davis’s different (earlier?) band, State Champion. The arrival of Dancing on the Edge carried with it a flyer with tour dates, main me to wind up at this present you’re about to hearken to. The right digital/analog development of discovery. And what a discovery it’s been: I’ve most likely listened this album greater than anything I purchased this 12 months and it’s solely been out for 2 months. I’d lose my music-blog bona fides if I didn’t draw the inevitable comparisons to esteemed names like Berman, Callahan, Oldham. Davis’s characters virtually stroll out of the stereo as vivid and tangible as anybody in your native bar. When you’re going to hassle studying the lyrics to any report launched this 12 months, right here’s the one. And fortunate for you: Dancing on the Edge is accessible once more in its second urgent.
I recorded this from our standard spot at Tubby’s with a board feed supplied by FOH engineer Will who blended this set good: every instrument is individually audible, making this an actual you-are-there deal with. Get pleasure from!
