Telluride to Tennessee by The Woodys (Madacy)--This husband and wife team sound like the musical heirs to the Flying Burrito Brothers and the late Gram Parsons. In fact, they include the song Sin City, written by Parsons and his former Byrd/Burrito colleague Chris Hillman, who provides mandolin and a guest vocal on the track. This is country and bluegrass done with a rocking kick. The harmonies are reminiscent to these furry ears of the Burritos—but I was reading that some people are also reminded of the Everly Brothers. The original songs are solid, the performances energetic and, to my delight, the CD includes a beautiful Lefty Frizzell number called That’s the Way Love Goes. Americana at its finest. 4 out of 4 bottle caps. Well done!
