Silverlined

 (8 customer reviews)

Tara and Jeb have done it again! The music is Danceable Americana and the lyrics are uniquely true. They've teamed up with guest musicians to add new sounds to songs we've heard at shows for a few years. When's the last time we heard horns with DTB? Jeb's brought back the pedal steel and Bela Fleck brings his banjo into the mix. Tara sings about the struggles of love and Jeb sings about the joys and limitations of life.

There's an unguarded maturity here that brings a smile and a nod of understanding as you dance. Some of the topics, (war, selfishness), cause reflection but DTB works hard to find the Silverlining in these times.
"How good it could be to make a world called home"

How do people find out about music like this? There is that Avenue called Americana and it bisects AltCountry Blvd. It's in the town where you know-depression but still want to dance and be lulled by voices that comfort and caress. God, I love this place. I wasn't born there but while my mind dances it does so with Donna the Buffalo...and when I die please sing a song or two from Silverlined. I'll be in heaven but if you pick up on this SO WILL YOU.

I have been a member of the herd for about ten years now and love this band. Have all their CDs (Group and Solo Projects) and even a cassette or two. Silverlined is a great starter CD if you are not familiar with DTB or for us seasoned fans . . .its danceable stuff. If you haven't seem DTB in person, find the time to catch a show or festival . . bring the whole family, bring your friends or come alone you are sure to find many friends at a DTB show.
