Rock 'n' Roll hits East Coast Bluegrass with Irish-Scottish influences

Equal first; The description, Rock 'n' Roll hits East Coast Bluegrass with Irish-Scottish Einflüssen` I have taken from The Stanfields` Label Rookie Records. Actually, everything is told about this wonderful album in this row already.

Unlike the previous albums come, For King And Country` over rather more quiet. It was recorded purely acoustic and the songs sound more folk than to punk. Was the last album still very punky and mostly on the same wavelength with the Dropkick Murphies or, rotzigen` songs by The Pogues, the new album is much more airy and yet become very folky by Akustikinstrumentalisierung - with a pinch of bluegrass. No hits like, Run on the Banks` or the rocking version of the already sung by Pete Seeger Irish traditionals, Mrs. McGrath`. Instead, 10 very melodic, yet spirited folk pearls; compared the folk band Planxty me is spontaneously occurred.

I was only a little surprised, as I had expected to continue, typischen` Stanfield Album. But this version of the band from Halifax has me also immediately captivated. The Stanfield can therefore play very diverse and, leiseren` tones are them also very good. Lyrically Stan Fields have a lot to say still. Her label describes this also very good with the following words: "With subtlety and accurate observation they denounce the complacency and ignorance of these people, keep the solidarity for unfashionable attitude".

It remains only to hope that I can see the band live times. I can imagine that they live play their entire range and this makes them on a par with greats like the Pogues or the Waterboys are. A live mix of folky and punk songs; just a brilliant idea.
