TO RELEASE
“PURE MOUNTAIN ANGEL”
AS A SINGLE FROM THEIR CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED DEBUT ALBUM
IN-PROGRESS TOUR TO CONTINUE THROUGH DECEMBER
As they tour the country in support of their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album via Silver Arrow/Megaforce Records, TRUTH & SALVAGE CO. will release “Pure Mountain Angel” as a single in October (exact date TBA). Emblematic of the Los Angeles-based group’s stirring blend of rock and Americana with four-part harmonies, “Pure Mountain Angel” is one of the highlights of the disc, which features all original songs by their four singer and songwriters: Walker Young, Tim Jones, Bill Smith and Scott Kinnebrew.
As Relix magazine noted in its August issue:
“With the recent release of a strong self-titled debut album produced by the Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson, Los Angeles’ Truth & Salvage Co. paved its sonic highway the old-fashioned way: four of the six members are quality songwriters…Originally hailing from North Carolina and Indiana, the band members found themselves in L.A. playing freeform gigs in ad hoc groups and venues…The group mixes equal parts Americana, country, folk and bluegrass, as well as The Band- and CSNY-like four-part harmonies.”
A potent live act who’ve toured with The Black Crowes and the Avett Brothers, TRUTH & SALVAGE CO. were cited as a “Top 10 Band To Watch This Summer” by USA Today and Rolling Stone said the band “has what it takes for the long haul.” Their album (released in May 2010) was given 4½ stars by Glide.com, which noted, “Truth and Salvage is an explosion of Americana and sweaty Rock-n-Roll that comes off more like a greatest hits album than a debut…set to become an instant classic.” The bandhas also performed at Bonnaroo and Stagecoach festivals, and made their late night television performance debut August 19 on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
TRUTH & SALVAGE CO.–Scott Kinnebrew, vocals/guitars; Tim Jones, vocals/guitars; Bill “Smitty” Smith, vocals/drums; Walker Young, vocals/keys Joe Edel, bass; and Adam Grace, keys–are currently doing headlining shows, making festival appearances and performing with artists including The Stone Foxes and Tea Leaf Green. They’ll join back up with The Black Crowes for three shows in December, including a Los Angeles hometown show 12/11 at the Hollywood Palladium.
