The New Black of Underground Country: Acoustic guitars rumble in wall of moody chords to a gritty brooding baritone voice singing of love, pain and death.
Bio / Background
With his 4th cd of Modern Hillbilly music, Rand Reynolds continues his journey to connect the heart to the head. This guitarist’s lightning maturity and sophistication as a songwriter strengthens with Scorched Earth as his baritone delivery introduces new emotional elements that are convincing and contagious. His signature sound is patently potent -- acoustic guitars rumble about in ominously barren musical arrangements that, on the surface, are simplistic in origin, but with an underlying level of complexity masked by the songs’ straightforward melodies. Reynolds’ style is not a manufactured sound, to be sure; his harsh sparse tone is readily recognizable and as close to the listener as this man’s own DNA. He records as if he’s playing to a crowd of one in a perpetual wringing out of a dusty tired heart. At times, this material is unsettling, even horrific perhaps, but ultimately uplifting and cleansing despite a dirge-like morose undercurrent.
↓ more ↓This is a formidable weighty collection of 18 songs, a portfolio almost, of edgy well-conceived works. Reynolds' lyrics are meditative -- not in a fashionable New Age sense -- but rather, short stories about how human beings assemble their own personality puzzles. For listeners, it's a voyeuristic spiritual romance from a provoking artist who's just begun to share the songs he thought he could never sing. Scorched Earth is not country, exactly, not folk, not rock, but all these things, and promises to be a prelude to Reynolds' own defining moment in Americana music.
Here's what listeners are saying:
* "Very soulful playing and singing. Very emotive lyrics sung with vibrant expressive tone. I'm enjoying the nice sound mix. You sing a story very well. Very earthy stuff. Love the production mix here. Great!" Vesa of Thunder Bay, Ontario.
* Great production! Dig the vocals and lyrics! Great alt/country sound!" Texas Jake of Dallas.
* "Wonderful guitars and an impressive, emotional and deep voice. This is songwriting with personal touch, and I wish you all the Best for your original way and deeper type of country!" Pascal of Syngularity.
* "Love the way you created a setting here for the song. Very visual piece here, I can see every word you sing. Diggin your unique style of vocals too, it has character. I enjoyed listening to this." Ray Valera of San Bernardino, Calif.
