The Grizzly Owls - By Night On My Bed

Joseph and Jenny Andreotti have been making beautiful music together for several years now. Thankfully, the rest of the world now gets to enjoy the fruits of their labor with the release of The Grizzly Owls debut CD, entitled 'By Night On My Bed.' This is a new kind of alt-country, steeped heavily in the classic country styles of Buck Owens, the dry wit of Lee Hazlewood, the echoed croon of The Cowboy Junkies, while also being equally influenced by experimental artists like The Cocteau Twins. The album opens with "What's A Girl To Do?" which is basically a straight ahead shuffling alt-country tune. It's immediately followed up by "Jeremiah" which straggles along at a haunting, yet effective pace. "Rifles And Hemlines" couples a compelling title with a sultry yet playful vocal. "Oh Good God, How I Want That Man," would not be out of place at your local honky tonk dive. Neither would "I Am A Child Of The Dust Bowl," an ethereal spaghetti western styled sound with great yet subtle percussion. The album clocks in at less than 30 minutes, which is actually a perfect length since this is a release that cries out to be digested properly. Do not rush through this one, but absorb it well, take it in and enjoy its classic sound.
