Messerly And Ewing | The Last Twelve Hours

Fine harmonies from this Cincinnati duo.
CD, RocA

Tekst: Steve Schmidt

Maybe it’s all in the geography. To me, Cincinnati has always been a northern town with a southern heart. The Queen City’s popular Messerly and Ewing sound like roots-rockers with a folky heart. Their harmonies flow easily through the 13 tracks of The Last Twelve Hours.

While sounding comfortable with the disc’s several mid-tempo rockers, Messerly and Ewing shine the brightest when they turn it down on the ballads and the acoustic numbers. On the standout Lucky Town, they sing a moving tale about the memories trapped in an old Kentucky mine. The story is laid over a stirring mandolin- and harmonica-driven foundation.

This is all territory that has been mined from the Byrds to the Delavantes, but Messerly and Ewing put it together with a sound that is all of their own.
