“Diamond Sky” sounds like a song by a country band.
And while it is a country song - a harmonic waltz with violin, piano and rimshot drums - the band that made it is a supergroup featuring members of Leftover Salmon (Vince Herman), Railroad Earth (Tim Carbone), Horseshoes and Hand Grenades (Adam Greuel) and Great American Taxi’s Brian Adams, Will Trask and Chad Staehly, who also played with Hard Working Americans.
The track announces the Feb. 16, 2024, arrival of the group’s sophomore album, Mother Nature’s Show, a musical trip down the Mississippi River whose songs are as varied as members’ day jobs.
So while “Diamond Sky” is 100 percent a country song, Mother Nature’s Show promises to be a genre-hopping LP with a country song in the first grooves and a whole lot of other stuff happening as the needle crosses vinyl.
