Appalachian Apollo: In Dreams There Are No Deathbeds


In Dreams There Are No Deathbeds is the debut full length from NYC folkrock band, Appalachian Apollo. The twelve tracks are something quite rare for bands in this genre, they have an original sound. With so many in the genre succumbing to the Mumfortization of music, it is refreshing to see a folkrock ensemble unafraid to find their own sound and blaze their own trail. What you get is music that ranges from good time rock, through jugband flourishes, and nice traditional passages; all held together by enough energy to keep the fires going through a long Appalachian winter. Solid songwriting, imaginative arrangements and superlative musicianship are hallmarks of an album that is strong from start to finish. A definite must have.
