DAVENPORT - Free Country

Dirt-soaked dirges and country-fried jams filter through the backwoods of their Madison, Wisconsin home on Free Country . This is the beginning. This is the moment Davenport was truly born. Clay Ruby and his clan bring us an album full of diamonds and pearls. Conjuring up the spirits of No Neck Blues Band and Jackie-O Motherfucker, Ruby and his primitive choir sing late into the night. The entire proceedings are a celebration of the journey. Where it leads is of no consequence, but embarking on a trek to find something new is what matters. - Last Visible Dog.
