- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
""Their latest full length CD, Big Damn Nation, is a hopped-up crash course
in raw Delta Blues pounded out with crazed fury. But The Reverend is no
modern primitive. Traces of the East Coast Piedmont Style and Southern Gospel
heard in his high-energy guitar wrangling betray a clever mind, well-versed
in numerous other genres, as well. Like a rabid wolf crossed with Leadbelly,
Reverend Peyton bellows and howls wildly while his right thumb drops like a
sledgehammer on the guitar strings, threatening to shatter his national steel
under the force of his frenzied picking style.... Stomp your feet and clap
your hands (boom-chank).This shit is red hot. (RH) Grade: A " -Mike Breen,
Cincinnati CityBeat " - MIKE BREEN, Cincinnati CityBeat.
"The Rev. Peyton swings country blues like a velvet hammer, its impact
cloaked in rural tones and a timeless simplicity. Yet in an unassuming
folk/Americana way, Reverend Peyton is capable of riling the same beast he
soothes. It is this type of raw and immediate blues that addresses the human
urge directly. It is this type of blues that justifies and chronicles the
human condition. It is this type of blues that, in all its secular glory, can
move the spirit, no matter how weak the flesh.
Peyton and his Big Damn Band - which also features his wife, Washboard
Breezy, and brother Jayme, on kick and snare drums - were plowing through a
set at a gig in Colorado one night when the fervor created by Peyton's
frenzied fingers, his wife's work on the washboard, and his little brother's
bare-bone drumming had the room in a steady boil. For a woman near the stage,
confined to a wheelchair, it was all she needed to hear. She got up." - Frank
De Blase, Rochester City Newspaper.
