The Sloes are a progressive acoustic quartet that blend jazz, rock, bluegrass, and folk to create truly unique and compelling music. "Lively, passionate performances,...boundary-ignoring songwriting"- Mike Breen, City Beat Magazine
Bio / Background
"Desperate Train" is the debut CD from progressive acoustic group The Sloes. Mixing traditional stringed instruments- mandolin, guitar, violin, cello- with a variety of world percussion, The Sloes have fashioned a completely unique and compelling sound that is both based in American roots music, and at the same time pushing into new territories.
Befitting the title, the music ranges over a broad landscape of styles and lyrical themes- the alt-country stomp of the title track and it's bluegrassy companion piece, "Desperate Times"; folk ballads ("My Ohio Home", "Letting Go"); Latin-jazz and swing ("There Was a Time", "Winter Into Spring"); Motown-ish pop ("Don't Turn Your Back"); exploratory rock ("ClickTrack"); and even a driving Middle Eastern take on the Rolling Stones' "Paint It, Black".
At the heart of their music is the stellar songwriting talents and emotive vocals of Rick Lisak, an award-winning songwriter and long-time veteran of the Cincinnati music scene.
