The Near Myths

Like most Southern fifty-somethings The Near Myths, who've been friends for thirty years, grew up listening to country and bluegrass and learned to sing in church. But they also had an ear glued to 1960s AM pop radio and 1970s eclectic FM radio. Combining a reverence for the traditional music of the rural South with an irreverent wit and a wide-ranging musical curiosity, The Near Myths are anything but purists.

You might call their blend of folk, country, rock, pop, and blues ?mongrel music? and it wouldn't bother them one bit. In fact, they'd probably say, ?Thank you kindly.? You'll hear the best songs, popular and obscure, of the 1960s and 1970s, abundantly seasoned with traditional tunes, served with a heaping helping of their unclassifiable originals, and topped off with their signature vocal harmonies.
