Let it be known that I love "fiddle picking, toe tapping, my wife is divorcing me and all I got was this bottle of whiskey" country music (I am from Texas after all). Judge me if you must, but I hold firm to the belief that this music warms the soul like nothing else. Enter The Black Lillies, a five piece ensemble hailing from the back roads of Knoxville, Tennessee. This bandcamp find proves that the Americana revival is going strong which means that there must be other music lovers out there who share my enthusiasm for well crafted, lyric driven, raspy-voiced tunes. Whether or not any of those music lovers follow my little ole blog remains to be seen, but even if you believe that this genre just isn't your cup of tea I urge you to press play and give The Black Lillies a whirl. Let them persuade you into joining us on the dark side.....we have whiskey.

ReplyDeleteNow that I got your attention, Amber Girly Bird, I will assure you that I, for one, dig The Black Lillies! These guys aren't pretenders. They're cranking out an authentic sound. I love the rich, mature male and female lead vocals. "Nobody's Business" is a real treat among many. I'm very excited about the Americana revival. It's blowing in like a fresh, cool breeze. My advice to everyone in Bloggerville is to proceed directly to your nearest music outlet and pick yourself a bunch of Black Lillies. Thank you, Amber, and have a safe and happy weekend, dear friend!
I love when you feature bands because they are always interesting ones that I have never heard of. I can't wait to get home and check them out :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the black lillies country sound. I must admit that old-time inspired country bands pluck at my heart strings as well! Good times...
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed that you manage to find new music every week...you're the queen of tunes :) Loved your last post...that beginning quote is fab.
