An eclectic mix of acoustic blue-eyed soul, reggae, and folk rock with a dash of Texas blues.
Bio / Background
New surprises as well as tried and true material abound in the Rivercity Seven’s sophomore work, “Moontower Raga”. A shifting of focus is definitely apparent from the opening track, as well as a more introspective writing style from Robert Froman’s pen. This self-produced CD shows an evolution of the band's vision to a tighter, more cohesive sound. They’ve left the loose energy of the rowdy bar band for a more mature sound of a band realizing the potential of the songwriting craft, as well as incorporating even more global genres, including reggae, psychedelic Indian sitar grooves, and a conga-laden world beat. This due in part to newly-joined drummer and percussionist, Keith Duble, and longtime Austin jam-band veteran bassist and celloist, Frank Kammerdiener. The intertwining guitar leads of Austin stalwart guitarists John McClane and Adam Temple punctuate Froman’s vocals and Hammond organ licks.
↓ more ↓Also included in this album are several re-recorded tunes of the band's earlier style of Honky Tonk and Texas Blues (Standard Issue Blues) and a revamped studio gem done in the Spaghetti Western style (High Plains Drifter), giving “Moontower Raga” a schizophrenic mood of differing styles of Cowboy meets Hippie, hopefully coexisting peacefully, and leaving the listener with the impression of a band on the move.
