The Night’s Bloom, by Pinetop Seven
 |
Of all the genres that are continually invented to quarantine artists into new classifications, the one that I just don’t understand is “Americana.” Apparently Pinetop Seven falls into that category, but don’t ask me what that means. The Night’s Bloom is the fourth album from this band that you probably haven’t heard of. If you are like me, then you will be searching out their back catalog after you are introduced to this wonderful album. The ambitious arrangements and vocal style immediately brings to mind Calexico (another Americana group). While this officially came out in 2005, look for it on the best of lists in 2006.
