Two of my favorite artists will put out their debut albums this June - Field Report and Spirit Family Reunion. SFR's debut No Separation drops June 15, perfect timing to claim its spot as my summer roadtrip jam. The band's irresistable blend of ramshackle folk and back-porch bluegrass is the perfect soundtrack to a summer jaunt -- whether a camping trip, a weekend at the lake or just a long drive with the windows down. "I Am Following The Sound" is the first studio take I've heard from the record, and I'm happy to report that the recording captures the perfectly-ragged, stomp&clap of the band's live sound. If this isn't the perfect music for that moment when the hazy late-summer sun softly gives way to purple dusk, then nothing is.
Spirit Family Reunion - I Am Following The Sound
You can catch the band at Newport Folk this summer, or in Biddeford Maine at The Oak & The Axe on June 7 or June 8 in Williamstown MA where they will play a Billsville House Concert.
In case you missed it - here's the band playing "I'll Find A Way" from a recent house show in Boston (also, don't miss the full live recording)
