Roadside Graves – My Son’s Home

  • July 20, 2009

NJ’s Roadside Graves follow-up to 2007’s vastly underappreciated No One Will Know Where You’ve Been is the equally great 18-track My Son’s Home. The Roadside Graves combine folk, country and rock with timeless melodies, gorgeous harmonies and arresting songwriting along the lines of Dylan, Springsteen, The Grateful Dead, and The Band, while retaining an independent spirit of their own. Deceptively simple, hiding thoughtful themes and intelligent lyrics under a guise of catchy alt-country, My Son’s Home layers acoustic guitar hooks and strums with boozy horns and piano until the entire band is moving as one.
