Nathanial Rateliff & The Night Sweats Tearing at the Seams
BandWagon Magazine
Nathaniel Rateliff is a name that carries a lot of weight in the Colorado. Born out of the south Broadway scene in Denver, those running in music circles watched as year after year his star continued
to rise until one day to the surprise of no one, his soul band Nathaniel Rateliff and Night Sweats popped with a little song called “S.O.B”. Back with their second fulllength album Tearing at the Seams, long-time fans will hear just what they want to hear. Timeless in quality, it breathes like a classic rock album. Rich in bluesy heartbreak, Rateliff’s thunderous vocals soar on each track perfectly paired with the horns and reverberated guitars. Fair-weather fans who only tuned in to party songs like “S.O.B” most likely won’t find what they’re looking for
with this record, but given a chance, it’s easy to warm up to. The road to reach this point was not all glitz and glamour for this Denver rocker. Stories of the struggles of an eight-piece soul band on a rigorous tour schedule and the demands on their health permeate the Denver music
scene. With the added pressure of following up a certified gold record, it’s a wonder this album happened at all. But here it is, the appropriately titled Tearing at the Seams, and if anything it proves that Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats are destined for rock and roll greatness.

Jenny LaJoye Altars

and enrapturing like a slow, steady creek in the mountains. Combined with her songwriting and arrangement of her work, every song she sings is seemingly filled with emotion from a place of earnestness. In particular, “What Did I Do,” a song filled with religious nods, sounds like a rather personal song for her. (For what it’s worth, Lajoye said on
her Bandcamp page that she’s pursuing her Masters at the Iliff School of Theology.) Regarding the pop-leanings of We’ve reviewed a fair number of Alters, the most pop sounding folk albums here at BandWagon song on the album is the opening Magazine, but the work of Jenny track ”Stained Glass Beats,” which Lajoye, a Michigan native now liv- sounds radio-ready. It stands in ing in Denver, leans in a more pop contrast with the most minimalist music direction, which gives it an track on the album, “On Whose airiness and a general vibe of wellbeing that’s a welcome contrast from Americana/Country/Rockinfluenced folk albums filled with grit and ennui we’ve received. That said, being a pop-folk fusion doesn’t mean this is necessarily a radio-friendly album as it’s filled with a number of eccentric touches that only add to the character of Lajoye’s music. Alters is Lajoye’s second album, following Vapor which was released in May 2015. She also has an 2014 EP to her name, We’ve Been That Way, but listening to her, she doesn’t sound like an amateur. Her voice is gorgeous; it’s gentle

Shoulders,” a Jazz-influenced song featuring a lone bass note and Lajoye’s crooning. “Grandma” and “Give It All” are two other songs that carry their jazz influences on their sleeves, while “My Body’s Alive” is the best balance between pop and folk. “My Body’s Alive” is the best showcase for Lajoye’s talents as a singer-songwriter, but the odd genre offshoots like “Grandma” and purer pop stuff like “Stained Glass Beats” shows she has range. Either way, anyone who picks up a copy of Alters or sees Lajoye perform in person won’t be disappointed. She’s a singer to watch out for.
Chris Daniels & The Kings Blues With Horns Vol. 1
Jay Wallace
BandWagon Magazine
He was inducted in the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2013. He’s an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado’s Denver campus. He beat back Leukemia after being diagnosed in 2010. He’s been featured in commercials for Ford and McDonalds, made music for television, and acted as a record producer. (He helped put together Andy Sidow’s Reasons for Departure, which we reviewed recently.) And since 1984, he’s been fronting the blues outfit Chris Daniels and The Kings, putting out album number 15 in September of last uear. That album, now featuring Freddi-Henchi frontman Freddi Gowdy, is Blues with Horns Vol. 1. With their fifteenth album, Daniels was inspired to showcase horn-section-heavy blues for a new generation. At a blues festival, Daniels encountered a young blues fan who thought
blues was nothing but 12-bars, guitar and harmonica, “not sax, trumpet or horns.” Setting out to showcase New Orleans/Memphis-style, horn-heavy blues, Blues with Horns Vol. 1 is mostly a showcase of blues covers such as “Soothe Me Baby,” “Fried Food/Hard Liquor,” and “Baby’s in Love with the Radio.” Bookended by a pair of originals by Daniels, “Sweet Memphis” and “Rain Check,” this is actually a great album for those who, like the young fan Daniels encountered years ago, were unaware of horn-infused blues. (Though any Blues Brothers fan will be more than familiar with this style of blues.) “Sweet Memphis,” Daniels’ opener, is the introductory paragraph of this musical essay, crooning of blues intertwined history with Memphis, and is a great song. Stylistically, it meshes well with the rest of the album’s cover songs. CDATK are covering different artists like Sam & Dave, Elvin Bishop and Johnny Watson, but it’s still pure in its execution, so to speak; a person who knew nothing about the artists The Kings’ are covering would easily think they created these songs from whole cloth. “Soothe Me Baby” sounds far funkier that the original Sam & Dave tune, but that in no way detracts from it; it’s still a great song. With Blues with Horns Vol. 1, Chris Daniels and The Kings have created an excellent album for both blues newbies and old timers steeped in the history of the blues. Any and all blues lovers out there need to track this one down.

AIRING ALL ALONG THE FRONT RANGE!
Ron – Little Steven, Soulfire
If you’re waiting for that next Springsteen album to come out, I have the next best thing for you. After almost 20 years, Steve Van Zandt (Miami Steve, Little Steven) has come out with Soulfire. A collection of songs that sound like they’d all fit nicely into a Bruce setlist (60s soul, horns, female backup singers, driving guitars). Steve also reaches back to his Southside Johnny producer days with “I Don’t Want To Go Home” and “Love On The Wrong Side Of Town”. There’s even a James Brown tune, but not a hit like you might expect. No, he pulls a Godfather cut from the ‘73 Black Caesar soundtrack that drips with Curtis Mayfield/Bobby Womack wah-wah riffs and silky strings. When a concert promoter heard Steve was attending Bill Wyman’s birthday party, he suggested Steve bring the band to the UK for some shows. Little Steven got re-ignited and Soulfire is the result.
Margot - Buffalo Tom, Quiet And Peace
90’s indie rock veterans Buffalo Tom just released their first album in 7 years. Though the trio have taken breaks over the years, they never broke up and their new album Quiet And Peace finds them in fine form. They aren’t trying to reinvent the musical wheel on this album, they are just doing what they do best—warm, introspective, layered rock. Don’t mistake the familiarity of the music overshadowing the messages of the songs, it’s quite the opposite effect. The cover of Simon And Garfunkel’s “The Only Living Boy In New York” is interesting as well. Standout tracks: “Slow Down”, “Lonely, Fast, And Deep”, “In The Ice”.
Stacy – Paul Thorn, Don’t Let The Devil Ride
Paul Thorn got his start at age three shaking a tambourine at his father’s Pentecostal church, and the music hasn’t left him since. On his latest release, Don’t Let the Devil Ride, he steps out of his secular past (a dozen albums) and steps into the world of gospel. He’s re-invented some classics like Love Train and You Got to Move but also digs deeper, exploring some obscure gospel tunes from the 1950’s - ‘70s. The album, recorded at three iconic studios: FAME in Muscle Shoals, Preservation Hall in New Orleans and Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis, captures the sweaty, soul-searching sounds of a southern tentrevival. And well it should, as he’s joined by his “superheroes”, the Grammy winning Blind Boys of Alabama, The McCrary Sisters, Preservation Hall Jazz Horns and Bonnie Bishop. In its entirety, the album delivers a hand-clapping, toe tapping, feel-good, inclusionary record that will make you want to hit repeat.
Benji – Daddy, Let’s Do This
If there ever was a marriage made in Americana heaven, it’s Daddy, featuring the combined talents of Will Kimbrough and Tommy Womack. Kimbrough and Womack have been friends since their days in the short-lived band, The Bis-Quits. Since then both have gone on to successful solo careers and become respected producers and songwriters working with the likes of Jimmy Buffet, Todd Snider, Steve Earle and The Jayhawks. Daddy’s new album: Let’s Do This shows off the pairs versatility as songwriters and musicians from the hard driving “Cadillac Problems” to the soulful down tempo “Don’t Kick Me When I’m Down”. The album covers a variety of topics and genres guaranteed to make everyone happy. By the end of the record you’ll not only want to hear it again but feel like you’ve made a couple of friends. It’s easy to see why Daddy sounds so good. At the end of the day it’s two great friends who love making music.

First and foremost, while the band is breaking up after the release of this album, it is not the end. When a band separates there is usually a negative connotation that is associated with it. Immediately people often conjure up images of blow out fights between members or self destructive drug habits catching up with them, but for Left Hand Shakes, this is not case.
“There’s definitely no bad blood or anything between the band members; we all still live together and hang out. This group was mostly my brainchild, and I’ve moved into a different space creatively, as have the rest of the guys,” says vocalist Josh Kern. That being said the final product for this band is a solid endeavor. Recorded in the band’s basement, this album rings with a Two Door Cinema Club quality of pop. Light-hearted, fun, and easy on the edges, it’s a contender with some of the Home Town for the Holidays bands. Tracks like “You Don’t Move Me” and “Are You Nervous” show an ear for pop music so many musicians struggle to find.
BANDWAGON BANDWAGON MAGAZINE MAGAZINE || 1212
Sit Still breathes surprisingly well as an album too. Backing vocals are on point, guitar and keys tracks are exactly where they need to be and layered nicely to leave room Kern’s vocals. In the end, no matter how great this album is, there is still the lingering thought that this is the end for this project right as it’s being released. But for Kern, it’s less about being attached, as it is to continue moving forward creatively. “Despite being incredibly proud of this new record, we just didn’t see a future for this band. We all plan to continue playing with our other projects (Evinair, Wolf Poets, to name a couple) and I’m working on a new project right now,” says Kern.
Turns Away I Turned Away, is a Quentin finding themselves in their own noise. What set them apart early on in the northern Colorado music scene was their jazzy approach to modern rock music. A band molded out of the music performance program of the University of Northern Colorado, Quentin formed when guitarist Jack McManaman and drummer Adam Gilsdorf wanted to branch out from the traditional jazz and classical music they were learning in college. “I think for me I was inundated by what my teachers were telling me in school and what my peers con-

sidered good music that I forgot what I actually loved,” says Gilsdorf. “The bands that stuck with me for the last ten years were not the ones I was learning about in school.” Finding vocalist Arianna Snow and guitarist Brian Galaviz along the way and adding Adam’s brother Noah on bass, the band took shape.
ver with Collin Bricker, the tracks are as clean and polished as anything we’ve seen from the studio, and the emphasis placed on McManaman’s layered guitar shines. “(Bricker) was pretty hands off which I enjoyed. It wasn’t that he didn’t assist us but it was more fun and scary to try figure a lot on our own,” says McManaman.
Now fully embracing their shoe gaze sides, I Turned Away is dark, dreamy, and still peppered with some of the tricks they learned as students at one of the leading jazz schools in the nation. Recorded at Mighty Fine Productions in Den-
Having the immaculate production is just what this band has needed. Tonally, McManaman and Gilsdorf know exactly what they’re looking for as songwriters and musicians. Recording at Mighty Fine gave them the breath

they needed to express themselves artistically. Admittedly a little nervous going into the studio, they quickly got over themselves and the confidence is palpable throughout the record. If I Turned Away was a movie, McManaman’s guitar would be the main character. So much of each song is driven and highlighted by the dreamy and washed out guitar layers which creates the landscape of band. While McManaman’s guitar would be the main character, its vocalist Arianna Snow who steals the show. With an ethereal, Kate Bush-like quali-
ty, her voice sits in a strange pocket between McManaman’s guitar and Gilsdorf’s inspired drumming. At first listen, those not ready might find this off-putting, but after a couple of listens it starts to make sense. “Our goal with this record was to make something that we wanted to listen to. Something that spoke to us and we could share,” says McManaman. The downside to this record shows itself in a few places and has so much to do with its strengths as its weaknesses. That dreamy shoegaze sound they’ve found for themselves can begin to drag dur-
ing a top to bottom listen of the album, and some of those jazzy licks picked up at UNC can at times feel disjointed and jarring to the untrained ear. For Quentin, I Turned Away is a big step in a new direction. Drawing influences from across the musical board from Steely Dan to Mastodon, McManaman and Gilsdorf wrote a record that gives people a look at a darker and more vulnerable side of themselves. Each track showcases a band coming into their own. “I’m extremely satisfied with the record and really proud of the work everyone did on it.”

As Cut Chemist was making his way to Colorado, the tenured Jurassic 5 turntablist and Los Angeles Hip Hop staple endured an appearance at Austin’s annual SXSW festival, a bout with the flu and trip to Montana. But it’s all par for the course. At this stage in his nearly three-decade career, he’s learned to adapt to whatever life (and tour) throws at him. Cut is currently on the road in support of Die Cut, his first official full-length album since 2006’s The Audience’s Listening. So, where’s he been? Over the last 12 years, Jurassic 5 has broken up and gotten back together, he’s played several shows with DJ Shadow as a part of Renegades of Rhythm Tour, put out a handful of passion projects like 2010’s Sound of Police and 2015’s Funk Off Megamix. and even played a chemistry teacher in the 2007 film Juno. Now, he’s laser focused on getting Die Cut to the masses. The album includes appearances from Mr. Lif, Hymnal and Freestyle Fellowship’s Myka 9. But each feature was selected very carefully. He needs there to be a friendship first, which he thinks may account for the lengthy stretch between albums.
“I don’t like to collaborate with someone if I can’t find some commonality with that person,” Cut explains. “Making music is a special process for me. I can’t just make it with anyone. Perhaps that’s why it takes a long time for me. Beyond that, it’s the sound of a voice, the words they write, and the timing and tuning of the voice that factor into my decision. I come from the Good Life era, so I’m a tough audience but when I find that special someone, it’s on like Donkey Kong.” As a solo turntablist, DJing has taken him all over the world. In every city, he normally makes time to hit the local record stores and do some crate digging. “Tokyo is always my favorite because of the shopping,” he says. “I kill it every time for records over there. Havana, Cuba wins for the most ‘WTF?s’ for culture and time warp factor. That place is by far the most unique city I’ve ever been to. I loved it.” Cut’s depth of musical knowledge stretches from classic hiphop and funk to Brazilian music, and nearly everything in between — and he has the record collection to prove it. Although the mainstream rap currently dominating the airwaves is a far cry from the hip-hop he grew up on, he recognizes there’s a place for it all.
“Everything has to happen, I guess,” he says. “There’s some of the mumble rap I don’t mind. The beats are dope and that’s most of what people are wanting anyway I believe. However, when you put an ultra simple chorus on a hot beat, it works. Nothing’s changed in that respect.” “I feel like people just want things that are stupid in a funny way, so they can tune out to reality,” he adds. “We need something to laugh at kinda like the Olsen twins “pizza” video that went viral like eight years ago. Who knows? Maybe that’s what’s ground zero for this trend. I mean. Kanye [West] references it in “Ni**as In Paris” [with JAY-Z], so who knows?” For someone as seasoned as Cut, who also tears it up occasionally as a member of Ozomatli, it wouldn’t be surprising if he hated on this push button DJ era we’re living in. But he’s able to embrace that, too — with one condition. “As far as push button DJing, I’m cool with it if there’s a performance aspect to it,” he says. “The DMC DJ showcases today include push button tricks with beat juggling and scratching, and it’s great. As far as the ones just DJing the clubs and pushing buttons, that’s fine with me as long as the music is good. Music selection is always number one for me and tricks are second.”
