The Morning Pages – Rising Rain

  • April 8, 2010

Fusing country, roots rock, and folk with the urban sensibilities of city life, The Morning Pages bring rustic soul to the NYC music scene. With members hailing from Nashville, Austin, Tulsa, San Francisco, Ohio, and Massachusetts, the band draws on a diverse range of musical influences on their debut full length, Rising Rain. Produced by Russell Simins (The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion) with guest performances from The Pierces (harmonies), Alec Higgins (Alberta Cross, piano) and Gillian Rivers (Nicole Atkins, fiddle), the album’s standouts include the folk ballad “My Name is Lion,” toe-tappers like “With the Lord” and the woeful “Makes Me Cry.” The Morning Pages play a satisfyingly vintage, country-rock. – Written by JFelton
