Getting Over the Storm

A surprising fusion where Nashville songwriting meets Birmingham reggae. Pedal steel and saxophones trade licks over steady, sun-drenched island rhythms.

September 2, 2013 · Virgin

A warm, nostalgic blend of island rhythms and mainland heartbreak.

Moments Worth Listening For

The unexpected but seamless entry of a weeping pedal steel guitar over a classic one-drop reggae rhythm on the title track.

Duncan Campbell's smooth, almost country-crooner delivery on the cover of Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.

The brass section providing a soulful, Memphis-style punch to the otherwise laid-back Nashville songwriting of On the Other Hand.
