tyles and method
A leader of the "mid-2000s new blues-country-rock movement", Reyne's influences are most commonly cited among late-fifties to early-seventies folk, blues, country and rock. Vocally compared to a "cross between
Ryan Adams andRy Cooder " by the All Music Guide.Reviews
The band's debut mini-album was named Single of the week and given 3.5 stars in The Daily Telegraph. "A rockin' blues mini-album which finds the son of James sounding eerily like his father for the first time in his nascent career. Opener The Blonde Hotel barely gives you time to catch breath with its relentless rhythm, To Be Your Friend is a sweet, fireside acoustic guitar and harmonica number and the title track is another rollicking bluesy rock song with some serious chops. The biggest achievement of these eight tracks is that they whet your appetite to see them live."--KM
