New York City-based blues rockers, The Dough Rollers, announce the release of their EP, Gone Baby Gone, out on vinyl via Third Man Records.
The Dough Rollers began in 2008 as a two-piece collaboration born out of a mutual love of blues music, between Jack Bryne (Jack White’s favourite lead guitarist) and Malcolm Ford (vocals/guitar). After experimenting with different band members and various influential sounds, Bryne and Ford were joined by Graham Norwood (bass) and their distinct southern blues-infused rock sound was solidified. The band has since toured with Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp, and Queens of the Stone Age.
The Dough Rollers – wonderfully nostalgic working man’s blues…
We listened to their latest single “Mansion On A Hill” :
A haunting Jimmie Rodgers style yodel kicks this off – with some articulated chords and juddering electrical vibrations.
This has a heart tender without being mushy.
And the rattling percussion is a simple pleasure.
The voice is lonely and longing.
This is wonderfully nostalgic working man’s blues.
