Bluegrass enthusiasts Railroad Earth introduce a strong, rollicking twang on their debut, The Black Bear Sessions. It's lush with plucking fiddles, acoustic layers, and tight harmonies, especially on cuts like the delicate "Black Bear" and the country fusion of "Seven Story Mountain." Frontman Todd Sheaffer is a heartbreaker -- personal lyrical accounts mold the simplistic nature of The Black Bear Sessions for something charming. It's not a traditional jam album either. It does, however, stick with an insistent beat, which is carefree and jovial. Railroad Earth expresses a positivity inside their music, and album opener Head exudes the most playful moment of the album. They're earnest, but studio production didn't fully shape the band's live potential. The quality is muffled, and the songs fall short of fully coming alive. Railroad Earth is a young band, though. Within time, they'll shape their progressive bluegrass twist into something bold and sonically gorgeous. ~ MacKenzie Wilson

You glance over.... she\'s fallen asleep, head propped against the window, lulled by the sound of the car stereo and the calm of motion... Only here, in the heart of the city at night, is there any solace. What is there for us at the end, and do we want it to end? The only thing that\'s important is that the journey begins...\" Ralph Alfonso (Diodes, New York Rocker, RALPH zine) The first in a series of cool compilations based on a specific theme, assembled and produced by noted writer / musician / designer and 1977 punk new wave pioneer Ralph Alfonso.
