Indiana Guitarist/Songwriter Releases Stunning Country Roots Cd
Indiana guitarist/songwriter Rand Reynolds has created a
touching serious substantial work with his first cd called
Modern Hillbilly, revealing a man who's lived a lot in his time.
He pounds out original tunes on an old Martin guitar and makes
it ring -- Big Time. Rooted in traditional country and
bluegrass, he's managed to make acoustic music sound electric.
It's power acoustic, raw and edgy. Reynolds relies on
guitar-heavy hardcore progressive country roots to charge his
gritty contemporary themes with a respectful sense of tradition.
Lost love, obsession, jealousy, doubt ... it's all here in
Modern Hillbilly. It's enough to make a Grand Ole Opry fan buy
another ticket and stay for the second show. Reynolds is leading
the pack of recent neo-traditionalists who have found their
audience on the Internet by recording in their garages,
basements and toolsheds on pc's and digital recorders. Plain and
simple: This cd is just real good music, for real good people.
If Hank woulda had a chance, he woulda done it this a-way.
