This review is from: High Water Line (Audio CD)
What a nice surprise this CD is!
If you like relaxed, comfortable alt-country music that has deft touches of folk thrown in with excellent singing and harmonizing, lots of good steel playing, crisp drumming, good keyboard work, and good guitars... you will definitely enjoy "High Water Line". The Bouchards are not derivative of other bands, at least not directly. They are students of music in general, but the music they make is their own unique brand.
I find guitarist/singer Bill Preib's "Corrinne" to be a standout track on the album. It's a lovely ballad. Preib contributes four tracks to this collection, and guitarist/singer Dennis Tevlin contributes six, including another standout, the sinewy, driving "Motherlode".
I smile and relax when I listen to these tunes. It is like rediscovering old friends!
Tevlin provides a laugh-out-loud lyric in the delightful "Big Man". I won't divulge it here, you need to get a copy of the "High Water Line" CD and check it out for yourself!
If you can't find the disc here at Amazon, Google "The Bouchards" for more information, song samples and downloads.
This band is worth your while. Relax and enjoy!
