I recently came across a band that I love. Deer Tick is an alt-country act that really strattles many genre's with a deep gutteral voice booming over steel guitar, fiddles and an amazing rock-a-billy/outlaw sensibility. On the surface, there is an obvious punk influence as well, but the sonic force and originality of this young artist renew my faith that there are young guys out there making great music forward facing with healthy respect to the past. Another band that got me this excited a couple of years ago was Two Gallants, whose debut record, The Throes, blew me away with it's throw back song writing with nods to the delta blues, as well as Bob Dylan.
Solid stuff.
