Folk Soul Revival - Boone, NC Home Concert
A modern band rooted in old-school southern sounds, Folk Soul Revival whips up its own version of amplified Americana.
The name says it all. Folk Soul Revival, like the band that created it, is an album that celebrates the sounds, stories, and small-town values of an earlier era, modernizing their approach with sharp songwriting and electrifying instrumental work.
There's country twang, bluegrass bounce, hillbilly cain-raising, chicken-pickin guitar, and roadhouse roots-rock, all sandwiched into a tracklist that mixes heartbreak, honesty, and humor in equal doses. Recorded in Nashville and road-tested on stages across the country, this is Folk Soul Revivals finest work an album that nods to the glory days of the past while still pushing the band forward.
Formed in southwestern Virginia in 2008, Folk Soul Revival has spent a decade growing a wide audience both at home (where they've become a regular presence at local institutions like the Carter Family Fold, FloydFest, and Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion) and on the road (where they've shared shows with Dr. Ralph Stanley, Old Crow Medicine Show, Jason Isbell, Eric Church, and others). They're road warriors, logging roughly 100 performances a year. For Folk Soul Revival, though, those tours always lead back to Bristol: the group's birthplace, home, and muse. Many of the life lessons that lurk inside Folk Soul Revivals 12 tracks can be traced back to that place.
These are stories of home, says frontman and chief songwriter Daniel Davis, who shares the bands lineup with Justin Venable (baritone guitar, vocals, occasional songwriting duties), Brandon Sturgill (upright bass, bass guitar), Chad Light (guitar, pedal steel, banjo), and Justin Louthian (drums, vocals). Were all backwoods country people who grew up in this area, he adds, listening to bluegrass and country. That's where we come from, and that's where this album comes from, too.
With songs about blue-collar jobs, long workweeks, wise-guy bartenders, messy breakups, and richly-deserved weekends, Folk Soul Revival sources its material from the everyday lives of rural Americans. This is biographical music, and while the stories may be specific to Folk Soul Revival, they'll sound familiar to anyone who hails from the country's forgotten pockets. On songs like Small Town, Davis sings about front porches, back roads, and Friday night football games, sketching a picture that's quintessentially Southern. In the background, the rest of the band chimes in with banjo, slide guitar, and vocal harmonies. The result is both fresh and familiar - a new take on a classic idea.
