Review – Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires “There’s A Bomb in Gilead”

lee-bains-iii-the-glory-fires-theres-a-bomb-in-gilead

This is an explosively-energetic album with influences and styles pulling from a wide range of American music. Lee Bains is well-versed in Southern modes from both sides of the tracks, and shows tremendous versatility in being able to conjure up the smoky mood of a blues singer, and the sweaty twang of a Southern rocker in the space of a breath, with The Glory Fires right on his heels with their authentic interpretations.
