Brown Horse

Young Englishmen with immense knowledge of American folk history: from Woody Guthrie to Jason Molina

You must have a vivid imagination to feel like you are in the Great Plains in 1933 while actually living in the medieval cathedral city of Norwich.

The early old six-piece has done its homework, sometimes literally singing the lyrics of Woody Guthrie and Jimmie Rodgers, but has also gone through the entire subsequent American folk history: we hear The Band, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Uncle Tupelo, and Magnolia Electric Co.; fiddles, pedal steel, accordion, lyrics full of lost souls, and a troubled voice that seems to come straight from a coal mine. Alt-country is in full swing – even in the far east of England.
