The Waybacks | Devolver

Nothing short of acoustical mayhem.
CD, Fiddling Cricket

Tekst: Jeff Wall

Publicatiedatum: 13 april 2001

If you like the David Grisman Quintet or the Tony Rice Unit, you are going to flat love the Waybacks. 'Likkus Inteerruptus', the first tune on their 'Devolver' CD, sounds like it could be a Sam Bush, Grisman, Rice jam classic. It's just full of wild joy and abandonment. The rest of the record is equally as good (It's really good.)
Whether they are covering Charlie Parker, Kenny Baker, or a song from the Jungle Book, these guys smoke. This is nothing short of acoustical mayhem. Each one is a master of his respective instrument. In addition to all the great instrumentals like John Fahey's 'The Last Steam Engine Train' and Parker's 'Scapple from the Apple', there are several excellent vocal numbers as well. The Riders in the Sky's 'Compadres in the Old Sierra Madre' swings. 'Cluck Ole Hen', with its dirty nasty electric mandolin, showcases what fun that this band must be live. If you get the chance, catch them live at a show or rehab near you.
