Will Stewart & The Gold Band roll tide in Norway with ‘Real Drag’. This is the first single from their new EP ‘Live in Norway’. Alabama-based Stewart was joined on the road by Janet Simpson on guitar and harmony vocals, Ross Parker on bass and Tyler McGuire on drums.
The EP was recorded at a show in Trondheim, Norway at a small venue called Bar Moska. The recording itself is crystal clear with none of the mud or fake audience overdubs that plague many live releases. Stewart and the band sound spot on with echoes of the Jayhawks in their vocal harmonies.
‘Live in Norway’ is available now from Cornelius Chapel Records.
