Synopsis

Product Description
Durango is the new album by ex-Long Ryder Sid Griffin's Coal Porters. Recorded in Colorado by the legendary Ed Stasium (Phil Spector, Ramones, Smithereens, Mick Jagger) in two weeks of frenzied musical activity it is, says Griffin happily, ''the best work I have ever done''. Containing five new Griffin compositions, a bluegrass cover of Neil Young's Like A Hurricane and musical contributions from Tim O'Brien and Peter Rowan, this is why Alt-Country is the hippest slice of Americana today!

CD Reviews

Warm and varied modern bluegrass
G. Alexander | Baltimore, Maryland | 04/22/2010
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This album is beautifully recorded -- basically live to the mixing board in the studio without acoustic dividers between the musicians and singers -- and the music making (in all aspects - singing, instrumental facility and arrangements) is simply top notch. I thought in error that the songs would be a mixture of Americana genres (folk, country-folk, weird old American, etc) but the album (for the greater part) is a bluegrass album (albeit done superbly) which I like in small doses but not for an entire album. If you do enjoy bluegrass, however, I guarantee that you will savor, if not love unabashedly, this CD and give it repeated spins."
