What is it about Florida these days that inspires record titles. Besides this new record Florizona from The Silos there is Celebration, Florida by The Felice Brothers. There must be something about the Florida experience that both inspires and dismays.
Well look, you either love The Silos ( and indirectly Walter Salas Humara) or you don’t. You either love ragged roots rock or you don’t. You either love his voice or you don’t. I’ve been there since the beginning lineup of The Silos (with Bob Rupe) and have more or less stayed over the last 10 studio albums and solo projects. The new record is self-released and I haven’t heard the whole thing yet. But from sampling songs on the band’s website and listening to this song all morning I think it’s another good one. Lotsa merch including the new record here.
