A quick post and shout out to Laura Burhenn and her pack of lovelies The Mynabirds, who are on tour to support their uplifting, beautiful new album for Saddle Creek, Generals. They breezed through Mercury Lounge last Friday. I caught a couple of songs before I had to split, then ended up accidentally deleting the photos on my camera from the night's activites. Yeah, old age is fun. You'll love it.
The new is album called Generals for a reason -- it's a call to arms. The songs march along with powerful vocals, foot stomps and lush orchestrations. It makes a good compliment to her debut album from 2010, the Richard Swift-produced What We Lose in the Fire We Gain. That had an antiqued quality where you can sense the history and nostalgia. Generals is an album for the here and now.
As for L.B. (friend of the site and all-around cool chick), she's a great live performer, hitting all those southern soulful grooves while looking groovy in her animal head dress and flowing cape-like white dress. She's bringing the goodness through August with Sean Bones to your area. Here are the rest of the dates and long with the title track from the new album:
