Americana Brand

About the Artist
In addition to lead vocals, Kelly plays rhythm guitar and accordion. Mike Stromberg weighs in with his unique style of solo guitar playing, and wails on the dobro while providing tight harmonies. Mike?s compositions are also a feature of the Border Radio repertoire. Playing the blazing fiddle and mandolin, Luke Halpin moves easily from bluegrass to swing with his solos and hand written instrumentals. Robert Staron is the heartbeat of the band on upright bass that is both soulful and percussive.

Product Description
With their joyful string band sound and beautiful vocals, Border Radio is quickly establishing a reputation as the must see new band on the American roots music frontier. Defining the Border Radio sound is the voice and songwriting of lead singer Kelly McCune --- sweet, soulful and dead on. Their tight ensemble playing and lush harmonies deftly blend bluegrass, old time country and swing, weaving it into something all their own. Border Radio takes its name and boundary breaking inspiration from the early radio stations that aired a rich stew of American music throughout the late 20s and 30s. They take this prolific period of authentic, home grown music, mix in their own original songs, and create a timeless appeal. Their music reinvigorates like old time snake oil, a tonic for the mind and body.

Sparkling. From the creative detail of the jacket design to the gift of a moving sonnet between tracks 10 and 11, "The Fire That Burns" has a huge amount to offer music lovers everywhere.

On this CD, Switchback's original sound fuses together American, country and many other flavours of music. This is music to sing to and music to dance to. Every time I listen to this CD, I love discovering something new in it. Whatever your musical influences are, "The Fire That Burns" is definitely worth opening your ears to again and again.

Vibrant and energetic through to gentle and sure, these 11 tracks take us on a remarkable musical journey through a whole range of the emotions we all feel at some time in our lives.

Look out for great vocals, amazing electric cello and mandolin playing, gutiars, drums, accordion and much, much more.

Give your ears a treat. Get "The Fire That Burns" and tell your friends about it. They'll love you for it.

I generally judge a CD by the length of time it spends in my CD changer. This one's been in there since the night I got it, and I don't see it geting bumped out anytime soon. One of those albums that you can listen to over and over, and never have to listen to a weak track.
I can't really compare it to anything, because it draws from so many influences. Certainly well within the realm of "alternative country". Lots of traditional Irish (the rowdy pub variety). Bluegrass perhaps. Maybe even a touch of pop, but I mean that in a good way... You can dance to it. Mississippi Blues? A little Cajun maybe? You'll hear dueling guitars, accordion, dobro, steel guitar, and an incredible electric cello. The best mandolin playing I can remember. Heck, I don't know what it is. It's just very good, and quite refreshing.
This is a complete album. Well produced and focused. Life, Love, loss, and the stuff that baffles us in between. Get it, and if you figure out what to call it, let me know.

-Chris
