CD Review: Words to Burn, by The Near Myths
Artist: The Near Myths
Title: Words to Burn
Website: http://www.thenearmyths.com
Style: Folk Rock/Acoustic/Pop
Close your eyes and you would think you were listening to the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and even a touch of the Mamas and Papas instead of the actual band of The Near Myths on their latest release, Words to Burn.
The Wilson, NC-based group has dedicated this CD to the memory of Nicholas Anderson Oglesby (aka Liberal Andy), who passed away from cancer in 2006, adding a touch of heart to the stellar music presented on these works.
Add in melodious harmony singing that can be classified as a throwback to an earlier era of flower children, and four songwriters in the group, and all members being as talented in playing instruments as well as the actual singing, and the ending result is a winning combination.
The group introduces various genres of music into one style that they can easily claim as their own. With sounds of the ‘60’s blended with cotemporary, Words to Burn can easily appeal to listeners of just about all ages and music tastes. It also brings back memories of what folk once was and still should be.
This is a definite not-miss CD for those who love a little nostalgia with some good, original modern music.
