Product description
Magic Fire, out August 19th on Yep Roc Records, shines with striking immediacy and conviction. Over the course of two critically acclaimed albums Best Medicine (Yep Roc, 2014) and The StrayBirds (2012) the band has sharpened their poetic eye against our turbulent landscape of humanity and the resilient landscape of our human hearts. Straddling north and south (Maya and Oliver reside in Nashville, TN and Charlie in the band s hometown of Lancaster, PA), the band retreated to the Hudson Valley of upstate New York in December 2015 to bring the new collection of songs to life. They assembled inside a converted horse barn with Grammy-award-winning producer Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Levon Helm) and engineer Justin Guip. The acoustic trio embraced the songs calls for electric guitar, pedal steel, and keys. The band was also joined in the studio and now on the road by Eau Claire, Wisconsin musician Shane Leonard (drums/percussion/vocals) and his undeniably inventive rhythmic undercurrent.

To me they feel a bit high school country pop.
This is an EDIT.
This cd skipped on some tracks, so rather than complain ( I am doing ) I bought another one and the vinyl version.
Terribly disappointed as a track is missing from the vinyl, ALL THE NEWS IS BAD. Why bother to miss a track off ?
It’s a good song, it’s on the cd. Very dissatisfied daft decision by the band what were they thinking ? Crazy.
The cd hasn’t arrived yet, I’m hoping it won’t skip on some tracks like the last one.
I’ve taken a star of from my first review because of the lack of tracks on the vinyl.
Daft decision!

They are in danger of becoming just another country blue grass band, indistinguishable from the many other bands out there. I loved "When I Die" and "Sabrina" live (check out the youtubes) but here they have added just too many players and lost their essence. Shame because "When I Die" in particular is a favourite of mine. It seems that they may have fallen into the edge of the black hole that is the modern music industry and may get inexorably sucked into that amorphous characterless mass. That would be a pity for a band that seemed so fresh and clean and honest, who were able to reproduce a great and consistent sound whether in the studio or on stage. I'm certainly not saying don't buy this, it's perfectly listenable, but if you're only getting one Stray Birds cd I' suggest Best Medicine. Sorry, I would have loved to be more glowing but it's just not happening for me.
