Roy Davis and the Dregs / "Deadweight"

Roy Davis and the Dregs’ upcoming release “Deadweight” echoes influences from several artists including The Band on the opening track “Please Go Home” and Neil Young on “Come Around”. In between Roy recalls Whiskeytown’s glory days on “Dead Weight”, “Get What’s Coming” could be a lost track from Ryan Adam’s solo disc “Demolition” and “Further and Further” could be a cover from Jonathan Richman’s “Jonathan Goes Country” (and yes I do mean that as a compliment). Don't take my word for it, you can take a listen to these tracks and more here.

Twangster fans of the usual suspects (Wilco, Jayhawks, Ryan Adams, Jayhawks,etc.) will dig this disc of Alt-Country/Americana from one of the scenes more promising young songwriters.

Release date 4/9/08
