Comments:
Felonious Bosch make modernized folk music. They do their own songs, traditional songs and even a Black Sabbath cover. Their irreverent attitude towards folk is reminiscent of the great Bellowhead. "Drunken Brawl" with its sound effects of breaking bottles and boisterous tempo is great fun. They are based in the U.S., but their folk sound is rooted in the European tradition and they make that work. The Black Sabbath song fits in well with the other numbers, a sure sign of a gifted band, who know how to pick covers. The Romanian number "Deep Blue" gets rendered well and is played with gusto. This band is worth discovering. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)
