One of the best young bands in the country is out with another new disc; it’s a good day in the United States of Americana! Brooklyn’s own YARN is releasing their third cd, Come On In. This comes following two great releases, both of which I have reviewed on this site; their debut cd YARN and their second release, Empty Pockets, a great cd which featured guest appearances by Edie Brickell, banjo guru Tony Tischka, and Caitlyn Cary (Whiskeytown). Along with Americanaroots.com favorites The Doc Marshalls, Yarn form the other half of a powerful duo of Americana bands to come out that hotbed of Americana, New York City!? Hey, I don’t care where they come from, just that the music is good.
The band is made up of Blake Christiana – Vocals, Guitar; Trevor MacArthur – Vocals, Guitar; Andrew Hendryx – Mandolin, Harmonica; Rod Hohl – Electric Guitar, Dobro, Vocals; Rick Bugel – Bass; and Jay Frederick – Drums, Percussion.
Besides the excellent musicianship of this outfit, Blake’s southern tinged vocals anchor this disc, as they have the last two. The disc is loaded with 13 tracks of their lively acoustic based Americana. If you aren’t familiar with this band you owe it to yourself to check them out. Start by checking out the video below and the new CD!
