Americana Revolution Review #001: The Resentments
It's always a joy to welcome new music from the Austin supergroup The Resentments (Stephen Bruton, Scrappy Jud Newcomb, Bruce Hughes, and John Chipman). Hard to believe that Roselight
is their fourth album! Here's the deal...if you are EVER in Austin, a Resentments performance is a MUST SEE, as it is a joyous bubbling up of great groove and it will move you. I promise. But in the meantime, here are the tracks I'm digging the most from the new CD:
What Love Can Do
- an easy, sitting-on-the-front-porch, groove
Look Up
- tuneful, tasty pop
Wish the Wind
- stews a lovely funky r & b Americana fusion
Where Did the Time Go?
- a bit of Exile On Mainstreet swagger
Nice to Meet You
- I do so love this country rocker
Getting's Good
- how bout some bluesy stripped down southern boogie
