Three ways to AngloAmericana nirvana.

The group found their voice on their second album with its musical menu of lush harmonies, soulful country ballads and some gnarly blues. Includes live favourites Country Girl and brisk rocker Funk Angel.

Silver Pistol (UNITED ARTISTS, 1972)

Gomm’s guitar and songwriting debut, Silver Pistol finds the Brinsleys at their closest to The Band, with Bob Andrews’ Hammond organ swirl evoking Garth Hudson and Schwarz making no secret of his love of Robbie Robertson’s guitar style.

Brinsley Schwarz

The New Favourites OfÉ (UNITED ARTISTS, 1974)

Dave Edmunds produced this strong, live sounding set which opens with Nick Lowe’s (What’s So Funny ’Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding. Thereafter, R&B, pop and country gems abound.
