    John Moreland & The Black Gold Band



    So I've been following the career of John Moreland & The Black Gold Band from afar the last few years. They haven't made it over to Birmingham yet, but I'm hoping they do soon. I was doing my daily look over of Punknews.org when I noticed that they had posted a link to download "Things I Can't Control" as well as a link to buy the limited edition CD from Paper + Plastick. I always tell folks that John Moreland sounds like if The Boss was from Oklahoma and not Jersey. There's a lot of the same feelings of the desperation and longing to get out of the stagnant places we've grown up. It's just over a country/rock background instead of the blend of rock and soul that The Boss made so popular. Most of the songs are high energy rockers built around big riffs and a solid rhythm section with a ballad every now and then for good measure. 

    Moreland's Bandcamp page also includes downloads to all of his other recorded output with The Black Gold Band on a pay-what-you-want basis. It's some damn good rock and roll music for those that are interested.
