Clearly, no-one told The Coaltown Daisies.

Their follow up to This Old House is simply fabulous.

The curation of a band lifts their music to a new level altogether.

The countless hours in the studio have delivered an album of the highest quality.

The musicianship shines through in every detail.

Opening track This Road and 52 Reasons – the first single from it – both burst into life with a beat that is impossible to resist.

They also set the tone for the entire album which is soaked in glorious harmonies draped over wonderful arrangements.

Hangman captures the entire spirit of the album with its soaring acapella opening and straight into what almost feels like the most joyful jam session ever recorded while Little Jane simple sparkles with vitality.

Country, bluegrass, Americana , this fits perfectly whatever label you wish to apply.

Stick it on your turntable and smile, and dance, with joy.
