some KIND WORDS from a music critic (re: HOWL):
"Of course, the quickest comparison one will make to the Howlin’
Brothers is Old Crow Medicine Show. They are the only other contemporary
act to really ‘make it’ while putting out music in tribute to this
dusty period of Americana. While that is a pretty easy bridge to build,
the most interesting aspects of HOWL come from the ways in which this
group deviates from the calculation. This is Old Crow Medicine Show for
people that like a little more sweat on the microphone; the Delta Holler
Funk, if you will. More than that however, the boys are willing to do a
lot more playing around with influences on this record than one will
typically hear in a ‘throwback’ record. You can hear elements of Jeff
Tweedy (“Gone”), Dan Auerbach (“People Been Talkin’”), and even Dr. John
with some dixieland brass (“Delta Queen”). Even when at their silliest,
the brothers have something of interest driving the song (a Louis
Armstrong scat vocal???).
