Idle Rains hybrid blend
of roots rock meets new country meld into a style & direction that pays
homage to the traditions of the musical past whilst driving their future
path with augmentations of acoustic & electric guitar work; Splashes of
Keyboards & great textural vocals that spin tales in the minds eye "To The Wall" takes
these stories of love & redemption that is tempered & purified in the
fire of life, with its catchy hook & acoustic-electric flavor. In "Uncover
My Heart" the mainstream songwriting craft of Idle Rains rises to the
surface with its telegraph-morse code keyboard signatures The isolation & inner
dreamscape of "Far Away & Hard To Catch" has a dark & brooding quality
that segues into "Carry On" ; This majestic world weary piano ballad has
a retrospective of note that is highlighted with great vocals "Shadowlands" casts
a spotlight of eclectic guitar figures layered with up tempo select synth
work. In the craft of "This Is My Life" we are witness to a characteristically
strong vocal complimented by tack piano underpinnings "Coming Alive" exudes
an exhilaration of rock edge proportions & new country Canadian distinction,
while the welling keys work & harpsichord of "Break It" reflect a story
told inflection; Contrasted songs like the rockin good times of "Romance,
Luck & Lies" & the acoustic guitar swing & swagger of "Feet On The Ground"
& one has a solid blend of styles & suave Idle Rains transmit
a message of strength & grace through tough times & the long miles of
a musical train that keeps rolling down the track. Tommy John Ehman &
David Evans are the light that propels that dark midnight train from the
Canadian heartland into the sonic airwaves of the world |
