i once told a friend that in another life, id like to be in a band. exactly which band though, i couldnt say...until now. Ollabelle's newest album, "Neon Blue Bird" makes me want to sing. on stage. right up there with the fivesome, taking part in their rich, creative venture.
with a name that pays tribute to one of Appalachia's best, this Brooklyn-based collective melds old-school twang, southern gospel, and modern-day grit. and they've got the pedigree and experience to back it up. member Amy Helm is the daughter of legendary Levon Helm (drummer for The Band, amongst other musical projects), Glenn Patscha is an involved member of the New Orleans music scene, and that's just two of the five.
T-Bone Burnett puts it well: "Ollabelle...has great value to our culture, adding new life to a tradition that is an important part of who we are. But mostly, they sound great."
listen for free to "Neon Blue Bird" here or just go ahead and buy it here. good luck picking a favorite track.
