Release Notes:
Burning Daylight's Nick Young was making a right
turn on his way to work when it hit him from out of
nowhere; a fleeting fragment of melody flickered in
his head. Young knew what he had to do: get it down
quick, or it'd be gone. When he arrived at work, he
made a beeline for the office and made the call.
On Burning Daylight's debut record,Whiskey and
Romances, some of the tracks were handled in this
frenzied fashion; the songs themselves dictating
just when --- and where --- they were good and ready
to be written.
The 12 songs included on Whiskey and Romances are
simply beautiful. The sound is stripped-down
Americana and lush pop. And though Young leans heavy
on his love of the alt-country medium, his penchant
for melody and hooks takes away some of the
requisite melancholy. The trio twangs tight, riffs
rural, and swings sweet, with equal doses of
straight time and chops, thus adding to the band's
overall accessibility and appeal. You'll hear the
Earle, but the Costello is in there, too.
