Reverbnation
Blending influences of country twang, southern rock n' roll, and Americana folk, Russ Still & The Moonshiners creates a sound all their own.
On their latest album Bootleg (Batch 432), this six-piece rock outfit boasts energetic arrangements, with lyrically driven storylines.
Winner of "Country Band of the Year" in 2015, they are no stranger to hard work, and follow through. The band has six records released and counting, some of which are Russ's earlier projects and solo endeavors, now along with the new catchy name Russ Still & The Moonshiners. On the record, we are immediately indoctrinated into the country storytelling stylings of the group. Songs about rocky relationships, fun melodic twists on old sayings like "hear, speak, see no evil, monkey see, monkey do," and the excited frenzy of having a great idea that could make some real dough, like the perfectly placed moonshiners reference on the track "Money."
Throughout the album we can hear a diverse blend of instruments, electric and acoustic guitars, bass, drums, piano, lap steel, and various folk instruments. All performed by seasoned musicians who know how to bring a song's potential to life, bringing dynamics and balance to each track. Vocally each song has its impressive elements. Russ Still's voice carries each tune like a songbird gliding high above on a sunny day, clear and full of warmth, bringing depth and emotion to the overall sound.
Overall this record speaks for itself, a great release from a hard working band. Make sure to catch them playing a show in their hometown of Atlanta, or follow them on social media, and take a listen to Bootleg (Batch 432) below.
