Album Reviews: DADDY LONG LEGS – 'Lowdown Ways'

DADDY LONG LEGS
LOWDOWN WAYS
Yep Roc Records
****
A fine fusion of Americana, country and blues 
A band with fine prestige, DADDY LONG LEGS (yep, capitals are on purpose) have just released their latest offering in ‘Lowdown Ways’ and it’s everything you’d expect from them. Harmonica aplenty, gritty guitars and with a fast paced rhythm, time flies by when listening to this album, but the quality remains a constant throughout. Tracks like Winner’s Circle, Ding Dong Dangand Back Door Foolshowcase how versatile the band are, with all three songs incorporating different strands of country, Americana and blues – merging all three together in superb fashion. All in all, this is a great listen. The band have just wrapped up a tour in the UK and are in the final stages of their European dates, but those who were in attendance would have been in for a treat going by the nature of these tracks.
