What I am Listening To: The Bluebird Specials - Songs From the Country Estate

The Bluebird Specials like to keep things musically pure and recording this in Wild Bill's living room with an old school Peavey PA has managed to keep the essence of their live sound in this recording. The magic of this trio is that they spend much of their time together which has allowed them to dial in some incredible harmonies. With a bass, acoustic guitar, and mandolin, these ladies seem to keep the air full of music. The variety of songs take you through a roller coaster of life experiences. Out of the gate, Lost Boy is a dramatic start to what can be called a tipsy whimsical journey peering into a window of their lives. The Bluebird Specials are some of the hardest working musicians I have meet in the Austin music scene. This is an excellent start for anyone who wants to get to know them... musically that is.
