Man, it is colder than a witch's tit. Luckily I've been jamming this album for the past couple of weeks and it's helped to keep my mind off of the frigid cold. Horse Operas, not to be confused with 'Horse Opera' is a sweet 3 piece band that formed in Austin a few years ago. Hailing from Louisiana, Okalahoma, and Alabama respectively; Henry, Travis, and Josh crossed paths via work and other pet projects at the time. Henry handles most of the vocals and a guitar, Travis also supports on guitar and ukelele, Josh mans the drums, and Bill handles the keyboard, but I don't know where he's from. Since they've left Austin, some guys picked up the name, minus the plurality, so don't fall for it. Anyhow, the guys have all left Austin for different parts of the Midwest, in the pursuit of greater things... Their wives. All around, this is a really well done album. Quite refreshing actually. Many of the albums that I've been into this year have had a lot going on musically. Some of our favorite bands are really pushing themselves musically to do new things, and take their tunes to a new level. It's really cool to hear guys that are just getting started recording together and think of where they could take this thing. Word has it that the guys are making their way west, and are setting down some roots in Arizona. Keep your ears peeled for some touring in 2010. In the meantime, buy the album, and check out their Myspace for more info. Stay Warm, -Front Porch Musings Tuesday, December 8, 2009
