Bluegrass. For this 5-piece band
the sky is the limit when it comes
to rocking out traditional bluegrass instruments. Their sound is
clean, crisp and spirited. Layered
instrumentation paired with insightful lyrics makes for a colorful 12-song collection. The opening track “Windshield” starts
off delicate before it swells with
desperation with all the string
instruments punctuating the
narrator’s potent points. “Burn
Them” ignites with a peppy pace
and pointed prose. “Kerosene”
is another fluid tune with a lot of
spark. If Sorrows Swim is a stellar
record allowing Greensky Bluegrass to run the range from sassy
to serious in melodic shades that
take bluegrass music into the
stratosphere.
A’Mericana describes themselves as a collective musical
consciousness. Their latest release Salvation Unkind journeys
through a diverse sonic landscape with a nod to the lost art
