New album: Common Railers || Changes Come
A soulful Americana journey with heart and hope
Common Railers is a roots rock quartet from Ithaca, New York, Changes Come is their fourth record. It gives us no less than seventeen high-quality songs that distinguish themselves by a warm sound in which —in addition to inviting vocals and usual instruments—accordion, upright bass, and saxophone take the stage, with choices to embrace around every corner. The lyrics are also not to be sneezed at (like in Election Day: “You are my brother, come sit by my side // Although we hear the voices of different minds // You are my sister, don’t run and hide // You and I are not from enemy tribes”), but above all it is the intimate atmosphere that makes this album so enjoyable.
Changes Come, recorded by Gordon Rowland and Peter Glanville, is out digitally (self-released). Featuring Peter Glanville (guitars, vocals), Gordon Rowland (reeds, accordion, vocals), Mike Costello (upright and electric bass), and Shane Hartman (drums, cymbals).
