Jug Train VI, Sat. July 18th @ Barley's Taproom!
Listen Before Dialing, Release Date: April 24th!
In January, we punched our time card at the Rock Snob Recording Complex and began work on the newest album from Roman Reese, Listen Before Dialing. Everything started out simply enough, but the next thing we knew, some kid was slinging drum sticks (Hunter Deacon) and another devil was thumping on an upright bass (Clint Mullican). Before long, two bearded fellows showed up with dobros, mandolins, banjos and harmony vocals that often make me tear up (Michael Davis & Matt Foster). As you see, things got a little bit out of hand. Fourteen tracks later, our fingers bleeding, our voices hoarse, and our heads spinning, our engineer (Eric Nowenski) shipped the album over to Kat P Studio (Jim Rivers) for mastering. As of this very moment, the elves at Disc Makers are pressing and painting and polishing off the new album, Listen Before Dialing. Stay tuned...

"Armed with an acoustic guitar and a harmonica, Roman Reese goes orienteering through an impressive 16 tracks on his recent release, Gritty City . Law student by day, musician by night, and adoring husband all the time, Reese draws on his experience in the military to produce an album largely about a man in love and at war.
Perhaps a reflection of the multi-faceted nature of the subjects he explores, Reese demonstrates a range of musical styles. “Cupid's Crying” is a heartbreaking waltz, while “Devil These Days” approaches the pop-country recipe that's popular over in Nashville right now. Other must-hear songs on the record include the frenetic “Breath & Bone,” the blues-rock of “Dug Our Way,” and “Angel in Fatigues,” a stirring Americana-esque narrative. And if you like Scott Miller 's “Drunk All Around This Town,” you'll love Reese's “Liquor Chest.” It's the next evolution in beerhall ballads guaran-damn-teed to get the whole boozy bar singing along.
Reese's voice, too, shows versatility, sliding soothingly through a lullaby, only to jump, almost jarringly, to an impassioned, gravelly tone. It's in these moments that his voice is almost too big for his guitar, and could easily hold the backing of a full band.
Where Reese really excels is in song writing; he exhibits a rare talent for composing melodies and riffs that linger like the smooth burn of good whiskey, or like young lovers at the end of a slow dance."
