Band: OTHER BROTHER DARRYL
Who: Country & Americana collective from Boston.
They released their debut LP Roll Shine Roll last year.
Track: TAKE IT WITH YOU
New single.
Nate Leavitt (guitarist and co-vocalist), “We’re shaped by our past. All of the experiences in our life are what makes us who we are. Good or bad, these are the things that make us who we are and it’s important to recognize that. It doesn’t mean you have to live in the past; in fact it’s the complete opposite. Live in the now but know you’re here because of your past.”
Dan Nicklin (co-vocalist, lyricist, and percussionist): “The sentiment of ‘bringing it with you’
is grabbing your baggage and taking it; you can unpack it if you want, but make sure you bring it with you because if you’re strong enough now to unpack it, it’s because of what you lived through. So don’t turn your back on those memories.”
TUTV: Warm Americana at its nostalgic best. Sonically, harmonically and
melodically. Take It With You is richly orchestrated with both an acoustic
glow and steel guitar sparkles, mellow organs and piano now and then
in the back.
Feel-good country rock vibes, early Eagles come to mind, sooth our troubled
state of mind and make us dream about much-needed better times. There’s
always an encouraging light that shines at the end of the melancholia tunnel.
