Cannery Row

• Track Listing

2013 release from the Alt-Country band. In 2010, the Deadstring Brothers did a reverse of the great Southern Migration, decamping from hometown Detroit and moving to Nashville. And while you can never, ever take all the Detroit out of a Detroiter, Cannery Row has a loose-limbed melancholy reminiscent of the Laurel Canyon folk scene, the outlaw Nashville days and the Upstate NY counterculture spirit of the Band. Like a hitchhiker with a dirty backpack, a well-worn leather hat, a beat up guitar case and a wistful distant smile, the Brothers have piled up stories like the highway miles and created something pretty damn close to that old G. Parsons dream of Cosmic American Music.
