Feather & The White - Like A Million Dollar (2017)

3 November 2014 I wrote the following on this site. "Sometimes you just bump into something that is unexpectedly good. Feather & The White play garage blues. (...) The duo indeed played garage blues and did it very well. Maarten Intema (guitar / vocals) and Ron Stoop (drums / vocals) immediately reminded me of Lonesome Shack. The band plays a kind of 'basic blues' and can not be tempted to powerhouse. The music stays at the core and inevitably the songs are short and to the point. The presentation is extremely sympathetic and the gentlemen get a few fans to dance with their infectious boogie. The two EP-cd's / are also very worthwhile: 'Josephine' (2012) and 'Highway 168' (2013) show us what Feather & The White can and want to do: play boned blues with heart and soul ". Now there is the first almost complete album (nine songs, just 35 minutes) 'Like A Million Dollar' and the above is fully applicable. Keywords: sympathetic, straightforward, uncompromising, energetic and full of surrender. The album was recorded in Hans Hannemann's Twang Wolf Recording Studio in Nieuwe Pekela. In the old-fashioned way. In their own words: "In 2016 we put all our energy, time and euros in full of passion and with pleasure (practically live) recording the songs for 'Like A Million Dollar'. Old school (without assistance, without the help of computers and other electronic nonsense to cheat along). Back to basic, a guitar, drums and vocals ". The music of Feather & The White is in the corner of The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band, Seasick Steve and also somewhat The Black Keys. No fuss, so, and especially go as the fire department! Live also highly recommended! ~Fons Delemarre (Google translation from Dutch)
