The Roues Bros.

From the Vault 4-song digital EP

(Self-issued)



It's so that Billy and Steven "Muddy" Roues enjoy hale repute as pivotal members of late-1970s (and beyond) NYC Neo-rockabilly luminaries Finn and the Sharks. That illustrious pedigree, and the roots-music wisdom the two derived from diverse other projects, served them in good stead as they undertook these eminently American compositions. Acoustic strings are sometimes employed,  and aptly suit the material's rich cultural expanse. Elsewhere, Billy renders the electrictrified striding for which he is famed. Voices are raised in natural, old-ways harmonizing such as is too-rarely heard in these autotuned days.

Recommended: "The Sound Of One Heart Breaking," "Birds Of a Feather," "I Must Be Hearing Things," "Gypsy Blood"
