Red River Dialect
Tender Gold & Gentle Blue
Hinterground Records
2012’s fabulous “awellupontheway” drew comparisons to Fairport Convention, Dirty Three, the Waterboys, Arbouretum & Nick Cave, but on their new record, the band takes leave of the swirling electrified balladry.
These new songs, all based around the acoustic guitar & vocals of songwriter David Morris, are augmented by cello, violin, piano, vibraphones & banjo. 'Tender Gold and Gentle Blue' began life as a solo record, a document of the experience of grief & sudden loss as it unfolded over the spring. hiss golden messenger & ben chasney's siz organis of admittance have both declared themselves big fans - what higher recommendation could you need? "lush piano and string arrangements and Morris' vivid, bittersweet lyrics" - npr.
