Daniel Young and The Rambling Roses deliver Another Golden Hour, ten warm songs cut straight from the fleeting slant of evening light, the kind that turns everything amber before disappearing for good. There’s barely any studio gloss, just a tight union of grit and glimmer through rich instrumentation and graceful vocal harmonies. Baby, Baby Blue, a tribute to the fallen country radio station KSOP, expresses that feeling best: “You hear them old songs // On the radio // AM 1370 is fuzzy // But it always glows // Different frequencies // That aim for the soul // Airwaves that break through // If you’re feeling high or low.” Elsewhere, protest-fueled cuts channel dust-and-blood echoes of American folk’s unruly past. This is a record about endurance, about hard-earned hope, about catching the sun’s rays before they fade.
Another Golden Hour is out now digitally, on CD and vinyl LP (self-released). Featuring Daniel Young (guitars, percussion, vocals), M. Horton Smith (guitar, pedal steel, piano), Dylan Schorer (pedal steel, guitar), Ryan Tanner (piano, vocals), Marcus Bently (bass), Joshy Soul (B3 organ), and Ronnie Strauss (drums), with Marie Bradshaw (harmony vocals), Julianne Brough (harmony vocals), Melissa Chilinski (harmony vocals), Michelle Moonshine (harmony vocals), Andrew Wiscombe (harmony vocals), J Rad Cooley (piano), and Briana Gillet (trumpet) on select tracks.
