This Rhode Island based alt-country quartet have an impressive debut in Draggin Bones. Their descriptive vocals, twangy sound and emotive performances remind me of a cross of Travelling Wilburys, Ryan Adams and NRBQ. Frontman, Jeff Byrd has a terrific line up with Dan Simpson, Steve Del Tufo and Shawn O’Brien. The group has real chemistry and it shows, especially on songs like “To Be Within/Without” and “Something So Beautiful.” It’s bar room rock at its finest. These guys do a lot of touring fortunately and should be back here in Boston soon. (Kier Byrnes)
