Burrito Deluxe 'Disciples Of The Truth' CD in Stores Feb. 27
All-star band delivers feast for country/Roots music believers.
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) February 6, 2007 -- Country/Americana band BURRITO DELUXE will release their latest CD, DISCIPLES OF THE TRUTH, on Luna Chica Records, on Feb. 27, with national distribution through an exclusive agreement with CBuJ.
Rockin', twangy, rootsy, swampy and organic are just a few of the words that describe DISCIPLES OF THE TRUTH. With plentiful mandolin, Dobro and accordion alongside keyboards and electric guitars - the latest offering from BURRITO DELUXE is comprised of great songs played and sung with soul and conviction by an incredible band with eyebrow-raising pedigrees. DISCIPLES OF THE TRUTH features top-notch performances, without undue concerns about demographics- genders or generations, and restores the faith that real music is still being made by real musicians.
DISCIPLES OF THE TRUTH, produced by Greg Archilla (Matchbox 20, Neil Young, Santana, Edwin McCain), is the third and strongest album to date from BURRITO DELUXE. Not flashy, trendy or gimmicky or catering shamelessly to purists, the project is a diverse and lively gumbo of classic country, juke joint, and good American roots music from a stellar group of acclaimed musicians who've been making great music for years in various bands. The CD built tremendous momentum after being released late last year in Europe to strong reviews and critical acclaim. It's a confident and energetic step forward for BURRITO DELUXE.
BURRITO DELUXE is an all-star cast of musicians and singers that features Carlton Moody on lead vocals, acoustic guitar, banjo and mandolin, Walter Egan on electric guitar and vocals, Jeff "Stick" Davis on bass and vocals, Richard Bell on piano, organ, clavinet and accordion, and Bryan Owings on drums and percussion. Individually, they have performed with musical icons including Jackson Browne, The Moody Brothers, the Amazing Rhythm Aces, Wanda Jackson, Linda Ronstadt, Al Green, B.B. King, The Band and Janis Joplin. Those varied influences and experiences combine to give the band an explosive country-rock edge that is winning them eager fans across Europe and the U.S.
Guest musicians on DISCIPLES OF THE TRUTH include band patriarch and co-founder, the late "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow (Flying Burrito Brothers, John Lennon, Jackson Browne The Ventures, Joan Baez, The Bee Gees, Joe Cocker, The Rolling Stones), whose legendary pedal steel guitar magic graces several of the tracks. The session last year turned out to be the final studio appearance for "Sneaky" Pete, who sadly passed away on January 6th from complications related to Alzheimer's disease. Other notable guests are Cindy Cashdollar, Mike Daly and Al Perkins on steel and Dobro, Daniel Dugmore on steel and banjo, Barry "Byrd" Burton and Richard Ferreira on guitars, and percussionists Craig Krampf and Rick Lonow, while background vocals are provided by the likes of Joy Lynn White, Blue Miller and Rick Schell.
BURRITO DELUXE contains several first-rate songwriters, and they all contribute songs to the album. The opening cut, "Out Of The Wilderness" (Bell, Colin Linden, Jim Weider), rides swirling accordion and Dobro atop an emphatic two-step Cajun beat in the verses. "Front Row Seats To Heaven" (Moody, Rob Crosby, Craig Karp) celebrates a Smoky Mountain lovers' getaway. "On A Roll" (Egan, Rick Schell), featuring lead vocals by Egan, is a smash with a Tom Petty feel. "Encino" (Moody, Crosby, Karp) calls to mind a Marty Robbins outlaw ballad set to a loping country beat. "Wrong Side Of Town" (Moody, Davis, Bell, Egan) is a melancholy masterpiece.
The band also shows excellent taste in recording a number of songs by outside writers. "Disciples Of The Truth" (Tommy Conners, Clay Blaker), the first single released to U.S. radio, is a flat-out rocker that gleefully recalls a musician's "misspent youth." Music Row's Robert K. Oermann says, "It rumbles along with diesel-powered Country-Rock energy. It sounds like an instant classic, and ya gotta love that." "Sun Will Rise" (Edwin McCain), already a European hit, combines a driving Eagles-like chorus with a funky backbeat verse reminiscent of The Band. The gorgeous ballad, "Wichita" (Houston Roberts, Dave Turnbull, Roxie Dean, Rivers Rutherford) is a rambler's rumination on a lost love. "Midnight At A Red Light" (George Hamilton V) is a humorous, rollicking and irresistible tale of a naïve young man and the femme fatale who turns his life upside-down.
DISCIPLES OF THE TRUTH is 12 songs strong - and 12 strong songs of All-American music at that. No gimmicks, no filler, just a hearty feast of Country and roots rock. If you're not a believer, this CD will make you one.
