The Deslondes' latest offering, "Ways & Means," is a delightful blend of rootsy Americana and toe-tapping country tunes that will have you hooked from the first track.
The New Orleans-based band effortlessly weaves together elements of folk, bluegrass, and honky-tonk into a sonic tapestry that is as refreshing as a cool mint julep on a hot summer day.
Lead vocalist Sam Doores' soulful crooning captures the essence of the Deep South, while the tight harmonies provided by the rest of the band add a layer of richness to each track.
The instrumentation on "Ways & Means" is equally impressive, with twangy guitars, rollicking banjos, and swinging fiddles all coming together to create a sound that is as authentic as a plate of red beans and rice.
Standout tracks like "Many Poor Boy" and "Light" showcase the band's songwriting prowess, with lyrics that are both poignant and playful.
The Deslondes have a knack for storytelling, painting vivid pictures of life in the bayou with their evocative words.
Overall, "Ways & Means" is a testament to The Deslondes' talent and versatility as musicians.
Whether you're a die-hard country fan or just looking for some good old-fashioned foot-stomping music, this album has something for everyone.
So grab a cold beer, sit back, and let The Deslondes take you on a musical journey through the heart of the South.
Cheers!
