Home Groan - Fish

Tuneful and precise, as usual, the songs on this effort by Home Groan take their own path and are not restrained by preconceived arrangements or production. This results in a tasteful album that rocks with a rootsy energy and remains refreshingly new. "Fish" kicks off with a tribute to the late Rick Danko and manages to weave in elements of jazz, blues, Americana, folk and rock as it cross fades from story songs to road songs and beyond. There's even a swampadelic piece paying tribute to the great Brian Wilson. Guitars, bass, and drums support beautiful singing and superb harmonies (enhanced by the lovely voice of Claudia Scott).
