LOWHEART - ROOTS RUN DEEP EP
The latest offering from Australian Rock and Country recording duo Lowheart, "Roots Run Deep", is their first EP length release after 6 albums and 4 singles, and is a six-track collection of traditional American folk songs, all originating from well before the birth of rock 'n' roll. These classic songs reflect the origins of both Country Music and The Blues, and are all around 100 years old (and in the case of "Wayfaring Stranger", around 200 years old!). They are so old in fact that the original songwriters cannot be identified, and as such the songs are all in the public domain. They have all been covered numerous times over the years by a great many artists, and have now been given the Lowheart treatment on "Roots Run Deep", often with unique new arrangements that inject a different perspective and feel to these familiar songs. The instrumentation, production, and musical style are in a similar vein to the sounds presented on their most recent album "Catharsis” - being driven by the acoustic guitar, with passionate vocals, and each featuring a memorable and dynamic lead guitar solo.
