GravelRoad has been pushing the musical boundaries for over a decade and a half, forging a distinct sound that brings together Hill County Blues and Heavy Rock n Roll into new territories. GravelRoad is the sound of new and old – heavy fuzz and more introspective moods – combining to ask the larger questions of existence along with a rallying cry for a good time. GravelRoad is poised to release their eighth studio album prior to their European tour this fall, recorded, mixed and mastered by Seattle’s own Jack Endino.
CROOKED NATION continues where the band’s most recent releases – including MISSISSIPPI TIME (2017) and CAPITOL HILL COUNTRY BLUES (2016) – left off. The new album, the band’s third endeavor with Endino goes further with an array of tracks that magically weave multiple open-tuned guitars with a rhythm section that swings and sways with undeniable grooves. Easier than walking and chewing gum, these 10 songs will have the listener shaking their asses, banging their heads and pumping their fists in the air, begging to be cranked for the world to hear. GravelRoad doesn’t play for any other reason than pure love for the music and a joy that is evident in every show. Look for CROOKED NATION on Knick Knack Records and all the usual interwebs places. “It’s a little like what John Lee Hooker may have sounded like in Black Sabbath. And who wouldn’t want to hear that?” Patrick Wells, Classic Rock Magazine
