James & The Drifters
Stylistically the band has shaken off their dusty-folk/Americana-boots for the tough thick-skinned sound of rock and blues. Melodic guitar riffs jab and sometimes hang sweetly about the air while tight three-part harmonies, pure and strong, move along with the rock driven rhythm section. Putting a finger on the sound of James & the Drifters typically harkens to contemporary bands such as My Morning Jacket, Band of Horses, Coldplay, or Lord Huron, yet flows down a path of its own right.
