The Revelers
The Revelers
Independent
In a similar vein
to Lil’ Band O’ Gold comes another Louisiana swamp/pop supergroup in The
Revelers. Made up of members of The Red
Stick Ramblers and The Pine Leaf Boys, this quintet, with their eponymous
debut, have made a statement – that they’re giving CC Adcock, Warren Storm and
the rest of the Lil’ Band, a run for their musical money.
Heavy on the
accordion and fiddle, deeply entrenched within the sweaty sounds of Louisiana,
The Revelers draw as well from the blues, from folk, from Cajun sounds and
beyond to craft what is a rock solid debut.
Sung in both French and English, this is a record which invokes nights
dancin’ and drinkin’ down in the swamps, with just enough of a pop edge to have
you kicking up your heels ‘til dawn.
3.5/5
