Description: This lovely album meanders its way through gentle but at the same time powerful folk songs, all of them written by John and Rebecca Stoll who actually are Grifter and Shills. It’s almost too easy to say these are simple poetic tales but that is exactly what they are, not in the sense that no skill or effort are on display, more a question of getting to the point of their songs without any extraneous dressing or unnecessary colouration. The objective was obviously not to shock listeners by adding any false sense of drama, realizing that there is enough drama in everyday living which includes love, war, bringing up children, death and murder, without resorting to a punch in the guts! They choose instead to get their point over gently on this album that is at times genuinely thought provoking, even shocking but without resorting to wild histrionics, just simple melodies and evocative lyrics and vocals. As songwriters they have the ability to approach a variety of subjects from multiple angles and emotions without the poetic lyricism ever becoming to wordy or over the top, in fact, in a word, their music is ‘real.’ The couple who are based in Houston, Texas wrote all fifteen songs themselves and whilst this is their fourth recording it is only their second as Grifters and Shills (their first was an e.p) having formerly been known as Westbound with two albums being released under that name. The recording was produced by Brad Sayles and features Max Dyer on cello and Kevin Hardin on fiddle whilst John and Rebecca play everything else. Get ready to have your ears blown away by Grifters & Shills' latest CD release titled "Watershed". This Folk Rock masterpiece is perfect for any outdoor adventure, whether you're camping, hiking or just taking a scenic drive. The melodic tunes and powerful vocals will transport you to another world and leave you feeling refreshed. This CD is a must-have for any rock or folk music lover, with its unique blend of genres that will have you tapping your feet and humming along in no time. Don't miss out on this awesome addition to your music collection.
