Workhorses
of the Entertainment / Recreation Industry
Description: An informal mix of traditional
folk, weepy country tunes, lonesome bluegrass, unplugged rock and roll and
even some world music leanings, the Workhorses are a veritable roots-music
grab bag complete with three-part harmonies. With three distinctive singers
in the fold, comparisons to The Band's Danko/ Manuel/ Helm triumvirate are
inevitable, but if those guys had been able to keep their boat afloat, work
a day job and pick together at night, then they actually might've sounded
a lot like the Workhorses. More fittingly, they sound like a better-contemplated
Little Village (the short-lived '90s project that featured John Hiatt, Ry
Cooder and Nick Lowe): a few graying guys with guitars, a few beers with
dinner and a well's worth of good music. - Michael Andrews (Flagpole)
