Jeffrey Halford & The Healers - West Towards South Music CD

2019 release. 'Atmospheric, funky, rustic, and raw this is narrative Americana at it's finest; poetic story songs delivered with the voice of authenticity, sitting atop a moody bed of dirty slide guitars, organic drums, and swampy bass. Subtle touches of violin, piano, and lap steel adorn a song cycle that chronicles the westbound adventures of two mythic brothers in an equally mythic America. Jeffrey Halford, co-writer Don Zimmer and Adam Rossi created something so many strive for, and yet too few achieve a genuine Americana concept album that is simultaneously devoid of pretension, and richly authentic. If Cormac McCarthy played guitar, he'd have a regular slot at The Sad Cafe, and folks would come from miles around to hear him sing 'The Ballad of Ambrose and Cyrus.'
