CD Review: New Roots Music Reigns “On Top Of Old Smoky” Along With The Coal Men And The Grahams

From Nashville comes the latest from the roots-rock trio, The Coal Men titled “Pushed To The Side.” It features a dozen tracks of truthful, honest music. Beginning with “Depreciate,” you are swept up by the emotion poured into their music. The song sounds like it could have fit on Bruce Springsteen’s “Devils And Dust” album. The country swagger of “Pushed To The Side” slowly reveals its storied lyrics as you hang onto every word. They pick the tempo up with the country-rocker “The Payoff” and bring in the blues of “Willy Jett,” before returning the gentle folk appeal of “Travis.” The album finishes with the rockabilly swing of “Speeding Like A Demon” and the tale of “The Singer (In Louisville).” To find out more about The Coal Men and their latest release “Pushed To The Side,” please visit www.thecoalmen.com
