Quiet Hollers' bummerfolk conjures the best of the Boss
When Kentucky's Quiet Hollers come to town this week for a gig at Frank's Power Plant, you might hear lots of comparisons. The quintet's folk and country infused rock and roll recalls the Avetts or Lucero, some might say. But, to me, the eight melodic and gritty, acoustic-fueled tunes on the band's "I Am The Morning" remind me most of all of those powerful mid-80s Springsteen tunes like "Shut Out the Light" - songs about despair and darkness but also hopes and dreams.
