This is gorgeous
Go below the main list and onto the surprise hits list and you'll find this. How did I miss Dawes. This live performance is sublime, I just love the warm guitar tone on the whole track.
Wow,
Just wow. (but what does the piano melody remind me of? it's something obvious but I'm damned if I can figure it out)
Not sure
...and I've never heard them before but that track is very reminiscent of Jackson Browne - Pretender/Running on Empty era - right down to the David Lindley-esque lap steel guitar.
The Whole Album
I think most of the album reminds me of Jackson Browne, this track is very very much like The Pretender. That's seen by some as a criticism and people have "defended" them but I think it's a compliment. I've got an Emusic download of the album so no sleeve notes but I believe that Mr Browne has some sort of involvement with the band. A sort of foot in the Dawes!
Dawes
These guys have done back-up duty for both Mr Browne and Robbie Robertson. Their two albums, North Hills and Nothing is wrong, are both well worth checking out.
