Backland Blues
Waydown Wailers
Roots and blues rock quartet, Waydown Wailers, hail from the small town of Canton in upstate New York, the borderland region on the Saint Lawrence River that the locals refer to as the "Backlands," a fitting title for the band's third album. "Backland Blues." The Wailers deliver their unique twist on the blues, they call "Outlaw Jam.
The album opens with good old fashioned twelve bar juke joint jam "Back Door Woman Blues," with producer, "Professor Louie," sitting in with the fellas on honky-tonk piano. The eleven tracks on "Backland Blues" include three inspired covers and eight original songs written by the Parker brothers, David and Christian, who handle the guitar work backed by the stout rhythm section of Connor Pelkey on bass and Michael "Scruffy" Scriminger on drums.
