If you want a listening experience that is very pleasurable, I’d suggest looking no further than the Athens, GA based band, Futurebirds. Futurebirds are a great amalgamation of Country, rock, and a slight portion of psychedelic-rock. The band which consists of Payton Bradford, Thomas Johnson, Carter King, Dennis Love, Brannen Miles, and Daniel Womack formed in 2008, and since then have been creating their unique sonic brew.
Since the bands creation they’ve been delving into their classic rock and country roots to create music that is truly a throwback (but in a good way.) If I had to compare their music to anyone artist it would be Neil Young, especially on songs like “Battle For Rome.” But then again the band definitely has its own sound mixing in acoustic and electric guitars, banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, and percussion with sweetly arranged harmonies.
Be sure to take Futurebirds for a listening test drive because you will be in for a joyous listening experience.
