1. The Wild Feathers<\/a> \u2013 Live At the Ryman<\/em>
\nThe Wild Feathers released their second album, Lonely Is A Lifetime<\/em>, in March and their debut album in 2013. So it would seem a rather ambitious prospect to consider releasing a double live album, especially one recorded at Nashville\u2019s Ryman Auditorium, former home to the Grand Ole Opry. But that\u2019s The Wild Feathers\u2019 home turf, and the band isn\u2019t afraid of big, broad gestures. They\u2019ve got an Americana\/classic rock sound, and hit all the right spots for that genre, singing about freight trains, lonely highways, and the woman left behind. To the uninitiated, \u201cLeft My Woman\u201d might sound like a bootleg from an old Black Crowes show. They cover the basics, dynamics-wise, too. \u201cLonely Is A Lifetime\u201d is a harmony-driven acoustic ballad with touches of slide guitar, contrasted with the blast of power chords of \u201cAmericans.\u201d The Wild Feathers fit somewhere on the spectrum with the Crowes, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Chris Stapleton, Dawes, and Blackberry Smoke. Kind of a classic rock Swiss Army Knife. The band is from Nashville, so they\u2019re playing to a hometown crowd here, but a demonstrably enthusiastic one. At one point, a guy yells, \u201cThis is awesome!\u201d And they sing along. The Wild Feathers are on one hell of a three-year plan.
