When you already know, you already know: after a pal 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 proper digital/analog development of discovery. And what a discovery it’s been: I’ve in all probability listened this album greater than anything I purchased this yr 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. For those who’re going to hassle studying the lyrics to any document launched this yr, right here’s the one. And fortunate for you: Dancing on the Edge is offered once more in its second urgent.
I recorded this from our ordinary spot at Tubby’s with a board feed offered by FOH engineer Will who combined this set excellent: every instrument is individually audible, making this an actual you-are-there deal with. Get pleasure from!
