TRUTH & SALVAGE CO.
TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE
“PURE MOUNTAIN ANGEL” FROM THEIR CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED
DEBUT ALBUM
TOUR DATES SCHEDULED WELL INTO 2011
INCLUDING LOS ANGELES AND LAS VEGAS WITH
THE BLACK CROWES
October 25 marks the release date of “Pure Mountain Angel,” the new single from TRUTH & SALVAGE CO.’s critically acclaimed album self-titled album. A highlight of the six-piece act’s live show that elicits standing ovations, the piano and slide guitar-infused ballad soars with the band’s trademark four-part harmonies and underlines what Aaron Davis wrote in the Sacramento Press; he said the “….scintillating six-piece is a freight train ride down the Route 66 of American music, boasting a core membership of four singer/songwriters bouncing off each other…”(9/22/10).
Vocalist/keyboardist Walker Young says that “Pure Mountain Angel” is “our stand, our take on life…it tells the tales of all six of us and reminds us that, though we are blessed with fortune, this life is as serious as a heart attack.” TRUTH & SALVAGE CO. performed “Pure Mountain Angel” August 19 on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” marking their late night television performance debut (see link below).
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.” They have also performed at such festivals as Stagecoach: California’s Country Festival in Indio, CA and Bonnaroo in Tennessee. Their album—produced by Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes and released in May 2010 via Megaforce Records/Silver Arrow Records–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 band will be touring throughout 2010 and have plans to stay on the road through the fall of 2011. Look for them to open for The Black Crowes in Las Vegas (December 10, The Joint) and Los Angeles (December 11, Palladium).
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–hail from all around the country (including Atlanta, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Tupelo, Indianapolis and Wellston, OH) but met up in Asheville, North Carolina where they were playing in various like-minded bands before relocating to Los Angeles and starting the band.
“The group mixes equal parts Americana, country, folk and bluegrass, as well as The Band- and CSNY-like four-part harmonies,” noted Randy Ray of Relix(August 2010). Elsewhere, Lee Zimmerman of Blurt-online.com said, “Upbeat and infectious at practically every turn, it brings to mind the strains of classic country rock once borne by the likes of Poco, the Flying Burrito Brothers, the New Riders of the Purple Sage and their like-minded Southern California brethren…With a sound that’s both rustic and rollicking, it strikes a marked contrast to the low lit, downtrodden approach purveyed by many of their contemporaries these days (9/1/10).”
