Title:
Rebecca Drive
Details:
'REBECCA DRIVE' is a collection of 13 original songs so immediate you almost wonder why nobody has written them before. The album recorded last year in Nashville is produced by Will Kimbrough (Rodney Crowell Jimmy Buffett Billy Joe Shaver Steve Forbert etc) and features guest performances by the legendary Garth Hudson (The Band) and pedal-steel virtuoso Bucky Baxter (Bob Dylan Steve Earle etc). At first listen you might be tempted to label their style as classic Americana; in the same vein as The Band or early Eagles yet spiced with influences of alternative country. Listen closer and you'll find that the Willy Clay Band has translated the genre and coloured it with their own reality from way up north in Sweden to create a sound all their own. .. Reviews
Info: The band's strengths are many: Great songwriting; Tony Bjrkenvall, Bjrn Pettersson and Reine Touremaa, each add their own personal touch. The considerable vocal talents o' all three writers, who take turns singing lead and joining in with heavenly harmonies. Solid support o' guitar wizard +rjan MSki on lap steel, dobro and electric guitar, and the taste'ul drumming o' young, Fredrik Elenius. When they sing about travelling down the highway, it's not Route 66 or the I10 but the road between Kiruna and Karesuando. When you hear the sound o' loneliness it's not an echo From the Arizona desert, it's the emptiness o' the endless plains in the land o' the midnight sun. All Five band members hail From the Far north with Kiruna as their home-base, a mining town Famous For it's northern lights, it's Fabulous Ice Hotel and beFore too long the Willy Clay Band. Rebecca Drive was released August 15th in Scandinavia and the reviews so Far have been exceptional. The best thing that happened to country rock since the Eagles, according to a Norwegian newspaper. Maverick Magazine in the UK gave the album a Five star review in the December issue -05. One o' the classiest things to come out o' Sweden since Greta Garbo Loudon Temple, Maverick Magazine Sweden proves it has more to o''er than ABBA, Volvo and IKEA .. Americana UK
