Last year, John Paul Keith who is through V-Roys before a debut and The Nevers of the mods style, released the wonderful album which makes encounter of a mersey beat and a country consider. This is a debut album of the Stateside which is John Paul Keith's new band, he is the secret arms of the Nashville scene, extolled in the alternative country scene. In this band, although he seems to dare to eliminate a country color and is going to push out the straight guitar rock sound, depending on a song, it also has roots pop that delicately, a country color spreads. It is said that the following work becomes heavy more. But I think his individuality (charm) is that he can compose a song that combines the element both of a straight rock and roots pop, (he can compose a song that) has melancholic melody. In addition, Ryan Adams is doing guest in connection that John Paul Keith was playing the guitar in Adam's band several months ago. |
