Timber Timbre

2009-01-08 : Timber Timbre Review : popwreckoning.com

The band Timber Timbre hails from the northern border country of Canada and is releasing their new self-titled album on January 13.

The front man of this band, Taylor Kirk, creates a haunting version of rockabilly blues on the album. The entire album is made up of eerie songs that are influenced very much so by early blues players. In the song “Lay Down in the Tall Grass”, the combination of the choppy organ and the vocals resemble such early blues songs as “I Put a Spell on You” by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. On the third track, “Until the Night is Over”, it is clear Kirk was influenced by the legendary Animals and their song “House of the Rising Sun”.

Timber Timbre is an interesting and entertaining listen. Who ever said Canadians could not sing the blues? It’s just not true, in fact, they take it to a whole other level. Check them out.
