Search - Puritan Rodeo :: We All Share the Same Secret

Wrangling three musical genres into one cohesive unit is never easy, but the boys of Chapel Hill's Puritan Rodeo take the proverbial bull by the horns and ride it just right. Like its name implies, Puritan Rodeo bridges the gap between the frenzied rodeo's wild side and its antithesis in the pragmatic puritan. Such juxtaposition provides a firm if unorthodox backbone to their debut, We All Share the Same Secret. The band brings in brash rockist acoustic and electric guitars, nestling them next to trad grass's mandolin, fiddle and jaw harp. Lyrics of regret come set to a toe-tap melding the facets alt-country, traditional bluegrass and hardened rock. -Kathy Justice, Independent Weekly
