The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn BandThe Wages
SideOneDummy Records [2010]
Fire Drill Review:
You won't find a more unique unit then The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band and their foot stompin' punk bluegrass. The Wages is a record that has an edgy upbeat swagger to it, and was recorded live in the studio with no overdubs on analog tape. This organic vibe shines through, as the group once again brings in their best washboards, bottleneck slides and five-gallon buckets to complement their traditional instruments. The key to The Wages success is that the record gives you just what you signed up for and The Rev Peyton's Big Damn Band has a large confidence to them that translates to your listening experience and could turn even the most simple pop fan into their dedicated follower. If you are like me, then you will enjoy how The Rev Peyton offers a completely different record here, which may not immediately appeal but over time will win you over and probably at some point, even make you slap your knees and grab an instrument to play along!
Key Track: "Clap Your Hands"
