Modern Day Drifters – The Highway Is My Home

Category : Reviews

Kelly and Churchill met in 2006 when different projects they were involved in ended about the same time.  They met at a show and just clicked. The band says that “there seemed to be a timeless bond that bound the bluesy edge of Kelly to the south Texas country charm of Churchill.” The two started performing together as an acoustic duo, but they eventually expanded to a full band.

To really appreciate her soulful, expressive voice, listen to the bands excellent rendition of John Prine’s Angel From Montgomery. The band shows their fun, lighter side on the accordion accented honky-tonkin’ tune Broken White Line, written and sung by Joe Churchill.  The groups initial offering is certainly a winner.  I hope they’re able to parlay the success I anticipate with this CD into a nice long run!
