The Dodge Brothers
are renowned for playing the hell out of classic Americana. Singing
songs about transport, heartbreak and homicide, they render
distinctive narratives of mean women, bad men and railroads and set
them to hard driving rhythms. TV and radio presenter Mark Kermode
thumps the double bass and blows a lonesome harmonica. Joining him
with howling guitar and plaintive banjo is Mike Hammond alongside
the ringing guitar and mandolin of Aly Hirji. They're backed up by
percussion on a shoe-string from Al Hammond. This roughneck quartet
make a mighty roar and have got feet stomping and hands clapping
from California through the Natchez Trace to the South coast of the
UK. |
