Whaddya mean you don't know Promised Land Sound

Nashville's Promised Land Sound – inspired by the Flying Burrito Bros, Jim Ford & CAN – deserve much wider recognition. 

Here's the scoop from Paradise of Bachelors...

Promised Land Sound, Nashville’s finest purveyors of febrile root-work psychedelia, chose to begin at the beginning; they named themselves after an immortal road-dogging Chuck Berry jam and proceeded from there. For such a young band—though they’re now all in their twenties, some weren’t even of legal drinking age when they released their debut—they’re remarkably attuned to historical precedents. 

The self-titled first album mined the same red dirt/swamp boogie as the Flying Burritos, Gene Clark, Jesse Ed Davis, Link Wray, the Band, CCR, Dennis Linde, Johnny Darrell, the Stones, et al. But For Use and Delight is the album on which Promised Land Sound finds their distinctive idiom, the distilled articulation of their mutable live performances, during which songs expand and contract, guitars flicker, flame, and gutter, and the rhythm section achieves a full-throttle locomotive choogle that locates the common/contested ground between J.J. Cale and Can. 

You can get Promised Land Sound's recordings directly from their record label Paradise of Bachelors right here. Watch a performance of "Golden Child" below.
