Nice Bit of Americana from Charlie and the Foxtrots

March 27, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

It seems like Nashville is becoming the hot scene of the moment, especially for music that bares the soul of America’s musical history. Â Charlie and the Foxtrots is another one of those bands building a name for themselves both within and outside of the city. Â They blend elements of pop with that classic Americana sound, though I’ll admit that the vocals of Chas Wilson are definitely one of the shining highlights of this tune. Â The band will be releasing their album on Golden this summer, July 8th.

Soft Number from Charlie and the Foxtrots

December 20, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Listening to this track, I was first attracted to the solemn quality that opens the track, though that quickly fades as the drums enter the picture. Â Then I began to gravitate to the slightly peculiar quality of the vocals, which seem to fit the overall genre where we can slide Charlie and the Foxtrots. Â But, then I realized that none of that’s as important as the fact that this is just a really good song. Â With each passing second, it seems that the group is adding another layer to the tune, all the while holding consistent. Â

This song is slated to be released on the band’s upcoming debut, which should be headed out way soon.
